When the clearinghouse identifies an error, claims reconciliation levels 2 and 3 will put that claim into:

• A. Rejected by the clearinghouse
• B. Error pool
• C. Ready for resubmission
• D. Awaiting payer decision

Answer: (B)

When a clearinghouse flags a problem on a claim during reconciliation, that claim is placed into the error pool to be corrected before further action. The idea behind the error pool is to centralize and track claims that have identifiable issues so the practice can fix them and resubmit. Reconciliation levels 2 and 3 specifically handle these flagged errors, keeping them out of the normal submission flow until the necessary corrections are made. This isn’t a final rejection or a decision waiting from the payer; it’s a queue for issues that must be resolved on the provider side. Once the data is corrected (for example, addressing a missing field, an invalid DOB, or a mismatched payer ID), the claim can be moved back into the submission process for resubmission.
