Which of the following options lists the three ways to produce a claim from the hospital account?

• A. Demand claim; Resubmit
• B. Demand claim; Cancel claim
• C. Demand claim; Resubmit; Cancel claim
• D. Resubmit; Cancel claim

Answer: (C)

The essential actions to produce a claim from a hospital account are to initiate it, to resubmit when needed, and to cancel if it should not be billed. Demand claim starts the process, turning the account’s charges and patient information into a billable claim that can be sent to the payer. If a claim is rejected or needs corrections, resubmit sends it again with the needed changes so it can move through payer processing. If the claim should not be sent—because it’s incorrect, a duplicate, or no longer valid—cancel claim removes it from processing. The other options miss one of these crucial steps, so they don’t fully capture how a claim is produced and managed from the hospital account.
