Which statement about reconciliation processing is true?

• A. Reconciliation must always be started manually.
• B. Reconciliation can only be run automatically.
• C. Reconciliation can run automatically via batch scheduling or manually.
• D. Reconciliation is only used for inpatient claims.

Answer: (C)

Reconciliation is the process of matching payments and remittance details to the corresponding claims so postings are accurate and discrepancies can be identified. In Resolute Hospital Billing, this can run automatically as batch jobs that execute on a schedule, and it can also be run manually when you need to address a specific case or verify a particular account. This dual capability means it’s not limited to manual or automatic only, and it applies to multiple claim types, not just inpatient. That’s why the statement that reconciliation can run automatically via batch scheduling or manually is the best fit.
