EDI does not specifically determine claim status within 14 hours; this is not a characteristic of EDI itself but rather depends on the policies of the entities involved. EDI facilitates the electronic exchange of business information in a standardized format, which can lead to faster payments and lower administrative costs, and it can enable the generation of online receipts, but it does not inherently guarantee a claim status determination within a specific timeframe.
