 Click the name to expand, showing the service codes, calls, modifiers, and diagnostic codes the same as in a chart note.


When expanding an entry, there are a few buttons:

  1. Bill – opens the regular AHC claims window populating all the codes, confirm, or make edits, and click done.

  1. Bill patient – opens the patient billing window to generate an invoice to the patient or third party.
  2. Client info - opens the patient’s client card. Note, if these patients are not currently in your EMR, a client card will be generated with the supplied information.
  3. Mark billed – will create the claim for you without opening the claims window, a warning will pop up asking if, you are sure.

 

Tip:

Click bill the first time, once confirmed the details in the AHC claims window, click done, it will automatically bring in the next connect care billing claim, saving you from going back and forth between the connect care billing window and the AHC claim entry window.

 

Another way to bill all these claims is to click ‘Bill all’. This will automatically create all the AHC claims for you with the supplied information.

Note, if there are any errors that entry will remain in the list for you to review prior to clicking bill and editing modifiers or diagnostic codes for example.
