When the reconciliation process detects an error at levels 2 and 3, into which pool is the claim moved?

• A. error pool
• B. ready for review
• C. accepted
• D. denied

Answer: (A)

When errors are found during reconciliation, the claim is placed in the error pool. Levels 2 and 3 are deeper validation checks, and an error at these stages means something in the claim doesn’t align or is incomplete, so it can’t proceed forward in the normal flow. Moving it to the error pool sets it aside for correction and clarification before it can re-enter processing. This isn’t the same as ready for review, which would apply to items waiting human assessment without active errors. It also isn’t accepted or denied, since those states indicate a determination about validity; here the immediate need is remediation so the claim can be reprocessed once fixes are made.
