posicionamento

Portuguese to English Medical Medical: Health Care Health insurance claim
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?

Muriel Vasconcellos (asker) Mar 20, 2021:
@All Thank you for your many helpful answers. They were all good.
"Has a decision been made?"
Egon Lessa Mar 18, 2021:
@Muriel "Alguma posição?" is a "friendly" way of demanding an answer. I could only think of "where do you stand", like Oliver. I don't know if it is the ideal translation, but maybe you'll think of one knowing the idea behind it.

Example Sentences

"These participants are typically a mix of product partners from the business, technology and customer communities. Since your product partners have deep and broad product knowledge, and often care passionately about the product, you need to find out where they stand on the decision before you finalize it." https://medium.com/@ellengott/decide-how-to-decide-empowerin...

"State clearly the decision to be made. Then ask group members to hold up the card that indicates where they stand on the decision." - https://www.educationworld.com/a_admin/greatmeetings/greatme...
