Remittance advice remark code

MA130
Incomplete or invalid claim: unprocessable, no appeal rights

What MA130 means

The claim is missing information and was returned as unprocessable. You cannot appeal it; you fix it and submit it as a new claim.

How to fix it

  1. Find the companion remark codes for what is missing
  2. Correct and submit a new claim

Check the remark code (RARC) that came with the denial and the payer's own policy, since rules vary by payer and plan. This is a plain-English summary written by GetMax; the official code text is published by X12 at x12.org/codes.
