## LINQ statement

Source: `Data/SAIF.Data/Queries/Claims/MedicareQueryProvider.cs:49`. The repository/queryable is initialised at `Data/SAIF.Data/Queries/Claims/MedicareQueryProvider.cs:18`.

```csharp
// Data/SAIF.Data/Queries/Claims/MedicareQueryProvider.cs:18
medicareBeneficiaryRepository = factory.GetRepository<MedicareBeneficiaryQuery>().Query();

// Data/SAIF.Data/Queries/Claims/MedicareQueryProvider.cs:49
public int GetCountforBatchOfMedicareBeneficiary(DateTime submissionDate)
{
    return medicareBeneficiaryRepository.Count(x => x.SubmissionDate == submissionDate);
}
```

## Sample SQL

> **Inferred SQL:** This SQL was inferred from the LINQ statement above and the NHibernate mappings. It is not concrete SQL from source code; NHibernate generates the executed statement at runtime, so aliases, column order, join syntax, and bind-parameter names may differ.

```sql
-- Inferred from LINQ (NHibernate mapping translation); not concrete SQL
SELECT COUNT(*)
FROM MEDICARE_BENEFICIARY_QUERY MBQ
WHERE MBQ.SUBMISSION_DATE = :submissionDate
```

Translation notes:
- `Count(predicate)` → server-side `COUNT(*)`. The result is cast to `int`.
