Answer to Question 1

Electronic claims can be validated by the computer before sending by claim scrubbing software that ensures the claim meets the required edits.
Electronic claims take less time to process at the payer; the provider will be paid sooner.
Electronic claims save the cost of forms, printing, handling, and postage.
