Remittance Advice includes a record of the billed amount, allowed amount, subscriber liability, amount paid, and notations of any service not covered. Which of the following best describes this document?

• A. The clinic location and hours
• B. The provider's license status
• C. The amount billed, the amount allowed, subscriber liability, amount paid, and notations of any service not covered
• D. The patient's medical history and diagnosis

Answer: (C)

Remittance advice is a payer-generated document that explains how a claim was processed and paid. It lists the financial details of the claim: the amount billed, the amount allowed by the payer, the subscriber’s liability, the amount actually paid by the payer, and any notes about services not covered or denied. This makes it the best description because it directly summarizes the payment and adjustments related to the claim, not other unrelated information. The other items describe clinic details, licensing, or the patient’s medical history, which aren’t part of the remittance advice.
