vikaschdhr88-dotcom/Claim_Payment_Automation ? reverse-engineered prompt

Build me a simple Python app that automates claim payment work from start to finish.

I want it to read the claim details from a local data file, apply the payment rules and any basic checks, then produce the payment output in a clear format I can review or send onward. It should be easy to run from one main script, with the important settings kept in a separate config file so I can update things without digging through the code.

Please make it practical and straightforward, with clean error handling, useful console messages, and a structure that would be easy to extend later if I need more claim types or extra checks. If you need to look up anything current online while building it, go ahead and do that.
