In this mission, you will make two small decisions in a fictional outpatient workflow. Focus on the reason behind the action—not just the answer.

Decision 1 of 2
What should happen next?
Which action best reduces avoidable uncertainty before claim submission?
Decision 2 of 2
The response comes back
The simulated eligibility response indicates active coverage for the date of service, but it also reminds you that benefits and claim payment depend on additional plan and claim details.
What does this response allow you to conclude?
Mission debrief
What you practised
You separated a verification step from a payment guarantee. That distinction matters because eligibility, benefits, authorization, claim edits, medical necessity, and adjudication are related but not interchangeable.
The thinking pattern: establish the facts → understand what the response does and does not say → take the next action supported by the evidence.
