Which claim type can override the TOB and claim lines?

Demand claims are designed to pursue payment on a bill and can replace the original submission’s details, including the Type of Bill (TOB) and the line items. They function as a new demand that supersedes the prior bill, allowing updated or corrected service data to be sent and reprocessed by the payer. This capability is why demand claims are the method used when the TOB or individual claim lines need to be overridden. Resubmitting re-sends the same claim to fix errors, not to override the entire TOB/line structure; cancel claims void a submission, and paper claims refer to the submission medium rather than overriding data.
