Min Days refers to which of the following?

Min Days refers to which of the following?

• A. Minimum days to complete a discharge summary.
• B. Minimum number of days between discharge and when we attempt to assign liability for the HB HAR.
• C. Minimum days to wait before initiating billing.
• D. Minimum days to resolve an insurance dispute.

Answer: (B)

The concept being tested is a timing rule for when liability can be assigned in the HB HAR process. Min Days defines the buffer in days after a patient is discharged before we attempt to assign liability, giving time for all discharge information and events that could affect liability to be available. That’s why this option best matches “minimum days between discharge and when we attempt to assign liability for the HB HAR.” The other timeframes describe different procedures (discharge summary completion, when billing starts, or resolving insurance disputes) and are governed by separate rules, not the liability-assignment window.
