The Provider & Resource master file includes which of the following resource examples?

• A. Rooms and ultrasound machines
• B. Pharmacy inventory
• C. Insurance plans
• D. Billing codes

Answer: (A)

In a master file that tracks the assets used to provide care, you capture spaces and equipment that support delivering services. Rooms represent the physical spaces where care happens, and ultrasound machines are examples of the equipment used during procedures. These are the types of tangible resources the Provider & Resource master file is designed to manage for scheduling, utilization, and capacity purposes. Other items—pharmacy inventory, insurance plans, and billing codes—belong to different master files that handle medications, payer information, and billing terminology, respectively.
