Which function is performed by CDF with respect to claims errors?

• A. Error checking
• B. Defines claims splitting scenarios
• C. Determines claim form and claim medium use
• D. Other claims formatting

Answer: (A)

Error checking of claims data is what CDF does. It acts as the validation step in the claims workflow, examining the claim data for completeness and correctness before it moves on to submission. By verifying that required fields are present, codes are valid, dates and amounts are plausible, and payer-specific rules are satisfied, CDF helps catch issues early. This pre-submission validation reduces the chance of claim rejections or the need for resubmission after the claim has already been sent. The other options describe tasks like planning how a claim could be split, deciding which form or submission medium to use, or broad formatting tasks—areas that aren’t specifically about detecting and preventing errors.
