What should you do if you encounter a 'Duplicate claim' error in Resolute?

When you encounter a Duplicate claim error, the priority is to fix the underlying data issue that caused the system to see the claim as a repeat and then re-submit the corrected claim. This error means the system has detected an identical claim already in the queue or processed, so simply ignoring it won’t clear the duplication. Canceling and re-issuing with the same details would just recreate the same problem, and deleting the claim can compromise data integrity and audit trails. Instead, review and correct the data (such as patient identifiers, dates of service, procedure codes, units, payer information), resolve what caused the duplication, and then re-submit the updated claim.
