Denial Code MA130: Description, Meaning and How to Fix It
The claim is unprocessable due to incomplete/invalid information, so it was not adjudicated (and has no appeal rights until corrected).
Official description
RARC MA130: Your claim contains incomplete and/or invalid information, and no appeal rights are afforded because the claim is unprocessable.
Common cause
One or more required fields are missing or invalid.
How to fix it
Correct the invalid/missing information and submit a new, complete claim (this is a correction, not an appeal).
