Post Charges
First: a Clinician Prepares an Encounter for Billing
When a visit, phone call, or other billable encounter is finished, what does a clinician do to prepare the encounter for the biller?
Post Charges and Queue Up a Claim
A biller selects an encounter that is ready to bill, reviews the codes and payments, and then posts the charges to queue up an insurance claim.
