Identifying the Claims Reported on the Remittance
Advice
The RA (Remittance Advice) reports the first 12 characters of the MRN (medical record number) and/or a PCN (patient control
number), also referred to as Patient Account Number, submitted on the original claims. The MRN and PCN fields are located
beneath the member's name on any section of the RA that reports claims processing information.
Providers are strongly encouraged to enter these numbers on claims. Entering the MRN and/or the PCN on claims may assist
providers in identifying the claims reported on the RA.
Note: Claims processing sections for dental and drug claims do not include the MRN or the PCN.
