Answer: (C)

Submitting a hospital or accident claim requires a complete documentation package that proves medical need, records the care provided, and shows the charges. The typical submission includes a claim form, the diagnosis, hospital records, and itemized bills. The claim form captures who you are and what you’re requesting; the diagnosis explains the medical reason for the claim; hospital records provide the treatment details and dates; itemized bills break down each charge so the insurer can verify amounts and apply the policy terms. Without any of these components, the claim lacks essential context or pricing and can be delayed or denied. In some cases, additional documents may be needed, but this four-part package is the standard starting point.
