Which claim type creates a new claim that includes the new charges?

• A. Late Charge Claim
• B. Late Replacement Claim
• C. Claim Definition File
• D. HB HAR

Answer: (B)

The key idea here is how to update a bill when new charges appear after the initial submission. In EPIC Resolute, when you discover additional charges after a claim has already been created, the correct workflow is to file a replacement claim that includes those new charges. This “late replacement” action creates a fresh claim record in the system that carries all charges—the original ones plus the newly added ones—so the payer processes a single updated document rather than managing separate, conflicting charges on multiple claims. This keeps billing clean and avoids duplicates while ensuring the updated charges are clearly tied to the same encounter.

Why this fits best: replacement claims are designed to supersede or update an existing claim, which is exactly what’s needed when new charges must be added after the fact. The “late” qualifier simply indicates that the submission is occurring after the original claim was created or after a typical submission window, but the mechanism remains to generate a new claim that reflects the complete set of charges.

The other options don’t describe this behavior. A late charge claim would imply adding charges late without creating a new, replacement claim that consolidates them into a single updated record. A claim definition file and HB HAR refer to data structures or forms, not the process of generating an updated claim with new charges.
