posicionamento

English translation: (asking) where we stand on this

19:17 Mar 18, 2021
Portuguese to English translations [PRO]
Medical - Medical: Health Care / Health insurance claim
Portuguese term or phrase: posicionamento
The context is a series of emails about a health insurance claim. At issue is whether to process it because the invoice lacks the usual access link. When no response is received, the sender writes a follow-up email. It says:

Alguma posição? XXX nos cobra um posicionamento.

My take on it is:

Has a position been taken on this? XXX is asking for a decision.

Am I missing something?
