If the primary coverage for a visit changes, what action does the system automatically perform?

• A. Repost the charges from the visit to reassign them to proper liability
• B. Notify patient
• C. Cancel the claim
• D. Archive the visit

Answer: (A)

When the primary coverage for a visit changes, the billing system automatically reposts the charges from that visit to reassign them to the proper liability. This updates which payer is responsible for the charges so the claim reflects the correct primary vs. secondary payer, ensuring proper adjudication and reducing the risk of denial due to incorrect liability. Other actions like notifying the patient or canceling the claim aren’t automatic responses to a coverage change, and archiving the visit is a separate record-keeping step.
