N30 Denial Code
The patient was not eligible for this particular service on that date. That is narrower than not being covered at all, and the difference matters.
A remark code sits beside the adjustment code on the remit and says why the claim was reduced.

A Remark Code Is Not the Denial
The adjustment code says the claim was reduced. This one says why. You need both to know what to send back.
What to Do
Check eligibility for the date of service AND for the specific benefit, not just whether the policy was active. A patient can be covered and still have no benefit for the thing you billed.
