CARC Code

CO-29 — Timely Filing Limit Expired

CO-29 means the claim was submitted after the payer's filing deadline. Most commercial payers require claims within 90–365 days of the date of service. Appeal with clearinghouse submission timestamps proving timely filing, or cite a documented exception (payer error, enrollment delay). For government programs, cite the specific regulatory exception.
