What is the correct sequence of PB HAR status progression?

The correct sequence of PB HAR (Health Activity Report) status progression begins with the status 'Closed', followed by 'Billed', and can transition back to 'Closed'.

In this progression, when a claim is submitted and subsequently deemed to be fully processed and settled, it can enter the ‘Closed’ status. Once the billing process is completed and the accounts receivable for the corresponding service are collected, the claim is marked as 'Billed'. The 'Closed' status indicates that there are no further actions required on this particular claim, which is a normal outcome after finalizing charges and receiving payment.

This sequence effectively reflects the lifecycle of a billing report, providing clarity on the different stages that a claim goes through during processing. Understanding how these statuses interact with the billing processes is fundamental in tracking and managing financial outcomes in a healthcare setting.

In summary, the choice that lists 'Closed', 'Billed', and then 'Closed' reflects the intended logical progression and operational definitions within the PB system, emphasizing the closure and billing phases.
