Once a claim form is submitted to a third-party payer, the claim is then assigned a status, represented by

all of the following except
A. approved.
B. denied.
C. pending.
D. paid.

E. Lost in the Bermuda Triangle. Just kidding!

The correct answer is D. paid.

The claim form is assigned a status once it is submitted to a third-party payer. This status can be represented by options such as approved, denied, pending, or paid. So, the answer is that none of the options are exceptions.

To determine the answer to this question, we need to identify which of the options listed is NOT represented by the status assigned to a claim form after it is submitted to a third-party payer.

To do this, let's go through each option and determine if it is a possible status for a claim form:

A. Approved: This is a possible status for a claim form, indicating that the claim has been reviewed and accepted by the third-party payer.

B. Denied: This is also a possible status for a claim form, indicating that the claim has been reviewed and rejected by the third-party payer.

C. Pending: This is yet another possible status for a claim form, indicating that the claim is still being reviewed or is awaiting further information.

D. Paid: This is the last option, and it is possible for a claim form to have this status once it has been reviewed and the payment has been made by the third-party payer.

So, to answer the question, the option that is NOT represented by the status assigned to a claim form after it is submitted to a third-party payer is:

D. Paid.

Option D is the correct answer because the claim form is assigned a status (such as approved, denied, or pending) but not specifically a status of "paid" as mentioned in option D.
