RARC N448: Service Not on Fee Schedule or Contract
What This Means
The billed drug, service, or supply is not covered under the payer's fee schedule or any contracted/legislated fee arrangement. This may indicate the item is excluded from the benefit plan or was billed with an incorrect code. Verify the HCPCS/CPT code is correct, check whether the service requires a different billing method, and contact the payer to confirm coverage terms before resubmitting.
