RARC N527: Claim Processed as Primary Before Recovery Demand

What This Means

The payer initially processed this claim as primary before receiving a recovery demand from another payer. This typically indicates a coordination of benefits issue where primary/secondary payer responsibility was unclear. Verify the patient's insurance order, update COB information, and resubmit if the payer sequence was incorrect.
