The Edit Resolution Guide is a tool that was created to help providers understand the denial edits, descriptions, and actionable next steps. New denial edits will be added periodically to the guide. Providers maintain the responsibility to ensure all claims are billed appropriately.
2/26/2024 Important Notice Remittance Advice Claim Denial Code AD364
AHCCCS is aware that the claim denial code AD364 "No Records Submitted With Claim" is not consistently showing up on the providers Explanation of Benefits (EOB) and on the AHCCCS Online Provider Portal. If you receive a denial on a behavioral health outpatient claim and the denial reason and description is not present, it may be due to this denial reason code. We are working diligently to resolve this issue as quickly as possible.
