Explain the difference between "clean" claims and "dirty" claims.

What will be an ideal response?


Claims that are paid on the first submission are referred to as clean claims. This typically indicates that no errors or omissions appeared on the insurance claim form that would have caused rejection or denial. Claims that are denied or rejected are called dirty claims. They contain errors or omissions of necessary data on the insurance claim form required to process the claim.
