In the CDF, which items define the formats used for claims?

• A. paper and electronic claim forms
• B. submission channels
• C. claim form templates
• D. processing codes

Answer: (A)

Formats used for claims are defined by the form types themselves: paper and electronic claim forms. These are the representations that determine how claim data is laid out and transmitted, making them the true formats the CDF specifies. Submission channels describe how you send data (by mail, via EDI, through a web portal), not the format of the claim itself. Claim form templates are specific layouts within a format, but the overarching formats are the paper and electronic forms. Processing codes are data elements inside the claim, not the way the claim is formatted or submitted.
