Which Hospital Account status indicates billing has been completed and the account is no longer active?

• A. Open
• B. DNB
• C. Billed
• D. Closed

Answer: (D)

In hospital account workflows, payment and activity follow a lifecycle. Open means the account is still active and can accumulate charges. Billed means charges have been posted and a bill has been generated, but the account may still be open for follow-up actions or adjustments. DNB stands for Do Not Bill, used when billing should not occur for that encounter. Closed signifies that everything is finished: billing is complete, no further charges or activity are expected, and the account is considered inactive or archived. Because of this, the status that indicates billing has been completed and the account is no longer active is Closed.
