Which statement describes a paid claim?

• A. The claim has been paid.
• B. The claim has been filed but not paid.
• C. The claim has been denied.
• D. The claim is ongoing.

Answer: (A)

A paid claim means the insurer has reviewed the claim, approved the eligible charges, and issued payment to the provider or claimant. It indicates the settlement is complete and the claim is closed. The statement describing this outcome is “The claim has been paid.” Other statuses reflect different stages: filed but not paid means it’s submitted but awaiting processing, denied means no payment is issued, and ongoing means it’s still being processed or investigated.
