If a claim line remains unpriced after the first contract line, what is the next step?

• A. The second contract line is compared to the first claim line (if it was not priced by the first contract line).
• B. The second contract line prices it automatically.
• C. The claim is closed.
• D. The system ignores it.

Answer: (D)

Pricing workflow for a claim line typically runs through contract lines in order. When the first contract line is applied and cannot price the claim line, the automated pricing process does not cascade to a second contract line for that same line. Instead, it stops automatic actions and the line is ignored by the system’s pricing engine. This keeps automation predictable and avoids applying multiple contracts implicitly. In practice, an unpriced line would then require manual review or be flagged for further handling rather than automatically pricing with a subsequent contract line.
