True or False: If you use sequence numbers with your claim invoice numbers, you will be generating a new base number for every claim that is produced.

In this numbering approach, a claim invoice number is built from a fixed base plus an incrementing sequence. The base identifies the overall batch or grouping, and the sequence simply differentiates each claim within that same base. This means the base stays constant while the sequence increases with every new claim, yielding unique numbers without creating a new base each time. For example, with a base 5000123, the first claim might be 5000123001, the next 5000123002, and so on. If the base were to change for every claim, you’d lose the consistent grouping and make tracking and remittance more cumbersome, which isn’t the typical setup unless a specific configuration explicitly alters this behavior.
