Accelerated NRP action does which?

• A. Moves the entire remaining balance to the next responsible party
• B. Suppresses NRP. Does not perform the NRP action
• C. Generates a follow-up record
• D. Moves only the patient responsibility to the next responsible party

Answer: (D)

In this context, NRP stands for Next Responsible Party, the entity designated to pay the portion of a balance after the initial payer steps in. An accelerated NRP action is designed to speed up billing by transferring only the portion that the patient is responsible for to the next responsible party. It does not move the entire remaining balance, it does not suppress the NRP process, and it does not automatically generate a follow-up record. By focusing on the patient’s responsibility, the system quickly routes that portion to the appropriate payer, which is why moving only the patient responsibility is the correct outcome.
