835 ERA Reports: Claim adjustment reason and remittance advice remark descriptions
Mar 19, 2025
The 835 ERA Report API retrieves 835 Electronic Remittance Advice (ERA) transactions from Stedi in developer-friendly JSON. The ERA data now contains full Claim Adjustment Reason Code (CARC) and Remittance Advice Remark Code (RARC) descriptions, making it easier to interpret the payer’s response.
CARC codes describe why a claim or service line was paid differently than it was billed. Now, adjustments objects for both the claim and specific service lines contain an adjustmentReason property with the full code description. The following example shows the adjustmentReason1 property within the transactions.detailInfo.paymentInfo.serviceLines.serviceAdjustments object.
"serviceAdjustments": [
{
"adjustmentAmount1": "21",
"adjustmentReasonCode1": "131",
"adjustmentReason1": "Claim specific negotiated discount."
"claimAdjustmentGroupCode": "CO",
"claimAdjustmentGroupCodeValue": "Contractual Obligation"
}
]RARC codes provide additional explanations for adjustments or convey information about remittance processing. Now, transactions.detailInfo.paymentInfo.claimAdjustments.serviceLines.healthCareCheckRemarkCodes objects contain an additional remark property with the full code description.
"healthCareCheckRemarkCodes": [
{
"codeListQualifierCode": "HE",
"codeListQualifierCodeValue": "Claim Payment Remark Codes",
"remarkCode": "M30",
"remark": "Missing pathology report."
}
