What is explanation for denial adjustment group code "PR"
PR - Patient Responsibility
A PR group code signifies the amount that may be billed to the beneficiary or to another payer on the beneficiary’s behalf. For example, PR would be used with the reason code for patient deductible or coinsurance, if the patient assumed financial responsibility for a service not considered reasonable and necessary, for the cost of therapy or psychiatric services after the coverage limit had been reached, for a charge denied as result of the patient’s failure to supply primary payer or other information, or where a patient is responsible for payment of excess non-assigned physician charges. Charges that have not been paid by Medicare and/or are not included in a PR group, such as a late filing penalty (reason code B4), excess charges on an assigned claim (reason code 42), excess charges attributable to rebundled services (reason code B15), charges denied as result of the failure to submit necessary information by a provider who accepts assignment, or services that are not reasonable and necessary for care (reason code 50 or 57) for which there are no indemnification agreements are the liability of the provider. Providers may be subject to penalties if they bill a patient for charges not identified with the PR group code.
Adjustment Group Code Glossary "OA"
OA - Other Adjustment
An OA group code is used when neither PR nor CO applies. At least one PR, CO or OA group code appears on each remittance advice. For example, OA would be used when a claim is paid in full at initial adjudication with reason code 93 and a zero amount, or with reason codes such as 69-85 that are components of payments rather than adjustments to payments. Neither the patient nor the provider can be held responsible for any amount classified as an OA adjustment.
