CARC 107: The related or qualifying claim/service was not identified on this claim

A required reference to a related claim (like a referring provider or parent claim) is missing.

What this means for your claim

Some claims require a cross-reference to a previous service, authorization, or qualifying claim. Without it, the system can't link the claims together.

What to do next

  1. 1

    Ask your provider to identify and include the qualifying claim number or authorization reference.

  2. 2

    Resubmission with the correct cross-reference typically resolves this automatically.

  3. 3

    Follow up to confirm a new EOB is issued after the corrected claim is processed.
