Which of the following is an example of electronic claim submission?

Electronic claim submission means sending the claim data directly from a provider’s system to the payer’s system through an electronic channel, typically over a secure network using standardized formats (like 837). This method transmits data digitally, speeds processing, and supports automated checks. The example that fits this is claims submitted via a secure network, since it involves electronic transmission rather than physical mailing. Paper claims mailed to the payer are physical, not electronic. Faxed claims use a fax line and are not considered true electronic submission in this context. Billing statements mailed after submission are not claims submissions at all.
