What is defined as a "corrected claim"?

A corrected claim refers specifically to the process of addressing and rectifying errors that were present in a claim that has already been submitted. This includes mistakes in demographic information, coding, or any submissions that may have been incomplete or incorrect. By submitting a corrected claim, the healthcare provider ensures that the insurance payer or other entities receive the accurate information needed for proper processing and reimbursement.

The other contexts provided in the choices describe different scenarios in health insurance claims management but do not encapsulate the essence of a corrected claim. For instance, adjusting the payment amount usually involves modifications to an existing claim's financial aspects rather than correcting original submission errors. Creating a new claim due to a patient changing insurance reflects a completely different process involving new coverage, while claims that are denied and subsequently appealed also do not fall under the corrected claim definition—they are part of the appeals process for previously submitted claims rather than a correction of submitted data.
