Tags Library

Tags Library

Before using Tags, set up a Tag Library. Pre-planning will be helpful before the library is created. These are some things to consider..


  • How can Tags improve your workflow?
  • Plan how you want your Tags to be handled in the workflow of your billing.
  • If you use Custom Claim Statuses, which ones can be replaced with Tags?
  • Determine what names you will give the Tags.
  • Decide the color you want for each Tag.
  • Which specific Tags do you want to be on a Worklist?
  • Who will work each specific Tag?

For more ideas, see TAGS Show & Tell.
