The additional documentation included with a claim required for payment is called what?

The idea being tested is what term describes the extra documentation sent with a claim to support payment. This is an attachment. Payers often need attachments when the information in the claim isn’t enough to determine medical necessity, verify dates of service, or confirm correct coding. Attachments can include operative reports, medical records, progress notes, lab results, and itemized bills. This is different from a reversal (undoing a payment), a denial letter (notice a claim won’t be paid), or a NOC (a different type of notice rather than the supporting documents).
