Which is NOT a type of Account WQ?

• A. Account
• B. Denial/Correspondence/Discrepancy
• C. Guarantor
• D. Bucket

Answer: (B)

Account work queues are organized by the tasks tied to managing a patient account. The standard categories you’ll see in an Account WQ include the general account tasks themselves, a Guarantor category for tasks that focus on the guarantor’s financial responsibility and contact information, and Bucket categories that use aging segments to prioritize accounts based on how long the balance has been outstanding. The Denial/Correspondence/Discrepancy category, on the other hand, is oriented toward handling claim denials, patient communications, and discrepancies in charges or payments. That set of tasks belongs to a denial-management workflow rather than to the account-focused work queue, so it isn’t considered a type of Account WQ.
