Reason codes and ______ codes are built as _____ records.

Reason codes and ______ codes are built as _____ records.

• A. remark; RMC
• B. note; NMC
• C. statement; SMC
• D. comment; CMC

Answer: (A)

Reason codes explain why a payment was denied or adjusted, and remark codes provide additional context or instructions for the line item. In Epic’s remittance workflow, both types of codes are stored together as a single data construct known as an RMC record. This means the system uses one master record type to manage the codes and their descriptions, which supports consistent remittance processing, reporting, and payer mapping. The other options refer to code families that don’t exist in this structure, so they don’t fit how these codes are organized.
