If a contact is on multiple claims, what happens in ClaimCenter?

In ClaimCenter, when a contact is associated with multiple claims, it maintains only a single contact record. This design feature helps ensure data consistency and prevents the system from being cluttered with duplicate entries for the same individual or organization. By having a single contact record, all relevant claims can reference this one record, which simplifies management and updates.

This approach also enhances the efficiency of data retrieval as it allows users to manage contact information in one place, rather than needing to update multiple records if information about that contact changes. The system is designed to avoid redundancy and ensure that contact details are easily accessible across different claims while keeping the data streamlined and organized.

While it may seem plausible that separate records could exist, this would create potential issues with data accuracy and lead to inefficiencies in the claims process, which ClaimCenter aims to mitigate by centralizing contact information.
