CARC Code
CO-22 — Coordination of Benefits
CO-22 means another insurer should pay first. Verify COB order, submit the primary EOB with the secondary claim, or provide documentation showing your payer is primary. For MHPAEA purposes, COB denials are administrative rather than parity violations — the fix is generally documentation, not a parity argument.
