Which of the following is NOT listed as a reason for a claim denial?

• A. Insufficient documentation
• B. Advanced radiographic imaging requested
• C. Signature error
• D. Inadequate treatment plan

Answer: (B)

The idea here is understanding what typically triggers a claim denial. Denials usually come from issues with how the claim is documented or justified: the records must support why the service was provided, signatures must be correct, and the treatment plan must be adequate to justify the proposed services. Insufficient documentation means there isn’t enough detail to prove the service was necessary. A signature error makes the submission invalid because the claim form isn’t properly signed. An inadequate treatment plan means the plan doesn’t properly justify the services or align with guidelines, so payment isn’t approved. The statement about advanced radiographic imaging being requested isn’t itself a denial reason; simply requesting a type of imaging doesn’t constitute a denial— it may require prior authorization or demonstration of medical necessity, but it isn’t by itself a listed reason for denial.
