Short answer
Make every hop acknowledge itself and reconcile those acknowledgements actively - envelope receipt, file-level acceptance, then a claim-level acknowledgement from the payer.

Likely follow-ups
- The file-level acknowledgement accepts the batch and no claim-level acknowledgement ever arrives. What is your process?
- How would you prove to a payer that a claim reached them inside the filing window?
- Your clearing house is unavailable for a fortnight. What is the fallback?
- Where would you surface the reconciliation so a growing backlog is visible before a provider calls?
