Claim Edit Checks are what type of objects in Epic?

• A. Reports
• B. Templates
• C. Extensions
• D. Rules

Answer: (C)

In Epic, Claim Edit Checks are implemented as Extensions. Extensions are modular pieces of functionality that extend the base system without changing its core code, and they can be developed, versioned, and deployed separately. Claim edit checks add validation logic into the claim processing flow, enforcing payer-specific rules, coverage requirements, and data integrity during claim creation and adjudication. They aren’t reports (which output data), templates (which provide reusable forms or content), or standalone rule scripts used elsewhere in the system. Packaging these checks as extensions keeps the customization isolated, easy to update, and adaptable to evolving payer requirements.
