CARCContractual Obligation

CARC 125: Submission/billing error(s). At least one Remark Code must accompany this code.

There's a billing or submission error — the remark code on the same line explains the specific issue.

What this means for your claim

Like CARC 96, this is a wrapper code that requires a RARC. The actual problem is described in the remark code.

What to do next

  1. 1

    Locate the accompanying remark code on your EOB for the specific error.

  2. 2

    Bring this to your provider's billing department — most submission errors are fixable with a corrected claim.

  3. 3

    Track the resubmission and confirm a corrected EOB is received.
