Add a Note to the Procedure Line

If a Note needs to be added to the Procedure Line, this can be done by selecting the Procedure Line number on the Modify Charge screen.

  • The Note prints with the line item in Box 24 or on the ANSI SV202-7.
  • This is useful for injectibles or unlisted codes.

Fee Updates on the Modify Charge Screen

When updating an Insurance Profile on Encounters, a new panel for Fee Changes displays to the right of the selected Encounters. Columns for Current Fee and New Fee are displayed.

  • Fees will update automatically when switching Insurance Profiles.
  • There is an option to refuse the change of fees.
  • This is for Primary insurance ONLY.

Modify a Charge in a Closed Reference Batch
