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.

Fee Updates on the Modify Charge Screen
Fees will update automatically when switching Insurance Profiles.
There is an option to refuse the change of fees.
This is for Primary insurance ONLY.
If the Encounter is in a closed Period, the System will perform a Reverse for Modification automatically.
A Validation Warning will display when the Change Profile is saved.
Open Period: The following Encounters will have a Fee change.
Closed Period: The following Encounters are in a Closed Period and will be Reversed for Modification in order to complete the Fee change. These Encounters will not be able to be accessed until this process is complete.
Modify a Charge in a Closed Reference Batch
(Release 4.7)
If a Charge is in a Closed Reference batch, changes can be made without reopening or reattaching to the original Reference Batch.
- This prevents forgetting to close a Reference Batch after it is has been reopened.
- This feature is controlled by User Permissions: Admin > User Maintenance > Miscellaneous > Reference Batches > Modify in Closed Reference Batch.
Modify
- On the Encounter Dashboard, select Modify.
- Select the Make Changes to this Encounter link.

Modify the Charge Line information.
The Billable field can be changed if the Encounter is in an Open Period.
Once the Period is closed, it is grayed out and cannot be changed.
Not to be confused with a closed Reference Batch.
A Reference Batch can be closed while the Period is still open.
Select Save [F2].
On the Modify Charge screen, select Save [F2].
