RARC N588: Patient Directed Claims Not Be Processed
What This Means
The patient has instructed that their medical claims or bills should not be processed for payment by the insurer. This may be due to privacy concerns, a dispute with the payer, or a decision to pay out of pocket. Contact the patient to confirm and document the directive, discuss the financial implications, and obtain written authorization if the patient changes their decision.
