If a Claim Edit Workqueue has no rules in it, then what happens?

• A. All claims in the error pool appear in the workque
• B. No claims are placed in any workqueue
• C. Only the oldest claim is processed
• D. The rules engine triggers a default routing

Answer: (A)

When there are no routing rules in a Claim Edit Workqueue, there’s nothing to filter or direct errors to a subset of the queue. The system then surfaces every item in the error pool into that workqueue so staff can review and fix them. This ensures nothing gets missed simply because no rules were defined. If you want to narrow what shows up, you’d add rules to filter by criteria like error type, payer, or date. The other options don’t fit because the absence of rules doesn’t prohibit claims from appearing, nor does it automatically process only the oldest claim or rely on a separate default routing mechanism.
