Dentovio public answer
On a dental remittance, CARC 227 means: The payer asked the patient, subscriber, or responsible party for information and did not get what it needed.
On a dental remittance, CARC 227 means: The payer asked the patient, subscriber, or responsible party for information and did not get what it needed. X12 assigns it no group code, so the group code on the remittance is the payer's choice under its own contract and it, not the CARC, decides who is assigned the balance. Remark codes verified with it: N179. Dentovio's appealability verdict — depends: check the facts first. The office cannot supply what the payer asked the member for. The practical route is to reach the patient, get the form filed, and ask the payer to reprocess — with the timely-filing clock still running in the background.
Dentovio is an independent publisher — not a payer, the ADA, X12, CAQH CORE, or any government agency. Code meanings and remark-code meanings on this page are Dentovio's own wording, written from the official X12 Claim Adjustment Reason Code and Remittance Advice Remark Code lists and linked back to them; X12 holds the copyright in those lists and its descriptions are not reproduced here. CDT codes are referenced by number only; CDT is the American Dental Association's copyrighted code set and this page does not reproduce ADA descriptors. Appealability verdicts are Dentovio editorial classification, not a standard. Every fact traces to the code steward's registry, a federal rule or manual, a HIPAA operating rule, an association publication, or a named payer's own document — never to a billing blog. Educational billing reference only — not billing, legal, or clinical advice. Plan contracts control individual outcomes, and processing policies usually live in the payer's provider manual rather than in the signed agreement.
