What N467 means

N467 says the payer needs a report that pairs test results with analysis and it has not received one. The code does not tie itself to a single type of test, so the report could be a testing summary, an evaluation that includes measured results, or another document where a provider interprets findings. The common thread is that the payer wants to see both the data and what the provider concluded from it.

N467 generally accompanies CARC 252 or CARC 226.

Clarify before you send

Because the code is broad, confirm what the payer means:

  • Which test or tests, and on which dates?
  • Does the payer want raw results, the interpretation, or both?
  • Is there a required form, as some workers’ compensation jurisdictions use?

A short call can save a second round of requests.

What to do

  1. Identify the tests tied to the billed service and the dates performed.
  2. Pull the results and the analysis. If the analysis is in a separate note, include it with the results.
  3. Confirm signature and date from the provider who performed the analysis.
  4. Submit with a cover sheet listing the claim number and what is enclosed.
  5. Request reprocessing once the payer confirms receipt.

How to prevent it

For services that depend on testing to justify payment, finalize the analysis promptly and store it with the test results so both can be released together.

Codes that may appear with N467

N467 FAQ

What is a tests and analysis report?

A document that shows the tests performed and the provider's analysis of the results. Depending on the service, it might be a testing summary, an evaluation with measured results, or a lab or diagnostic report with interpretation.

How is it different from a diagnostic report?

The codes overlap, and payers choose among them. A tests and analysis report emphasizes both the results and their interpretation. If unsure, ask the payer what document it expects.

Where is this report most often requested?

It varies by payer. It can appear in workers' compensation, disability-related, and medical review situations where the payer wants test results tied to conclusions.
