# What is the difference between “Update from Chart” and “Validation”?

## When accessing a client insurance claim, users will notice two key options in the upper right corner: Update from Chart and Validate. Each serves a distinct purpose in ensuring claim accuracy and readiness.

- #### **Update from Chart**
  
    - **Purpose:** To retrieve and tag the most current client information.
    - **Action:** Select this option to automatically pull the latest **Insurance**, associated **Service Documents**, and **Address** from the client's chart.
    - **Benefit:** Helps maintain accuracy and consistency across claim records by ensuring all relevant data is up to date.

  #### **Validation**
  
    - **Purpose:** To confirm the claim is complete and ready for submission.
    - **Action:** Select this option to run an internal check that verifies all required data is present.
    - **Benefit:** Identifies any missing or incorrect information, allowing the user to make necessary corrections before submitting the claim to the payor.
