If the first contract line matches the first claim line, what happens to that claim line?

• A. The contract prices that line.
• B. The contract stops searching.
• C. The contract ignores that line.
• D. The contract prices the line with the second contract line.

Answer: (A)

When a claim line matches a contract line, the pricing engine uses the contract line’s price for that claim line. The first matching contract line determines the price for that line, and the system then moves on to price the next claim line. It isn’t ignored or priced by a later contract line. This is why the correct understanding is that the contract prices that line.
