Enter Hospital Charges

Version 20.12

About

Claims for hospital charges are manually entered into OP directly from the Patient Chart since these charges are not associated with a visit on the practice's schedule.

Enter Hospital Charges

  1. Navigate to the Charges section in the patient's chart: Clinical, Practice Management, or Billing tab > Charges.
  2. Click the New Claim button. The Add/Edit Charges window is displayed.
  3. Select the Rendering Provider.

Note: There can only be one Rendering Provider per claim. If more than one provider in the practice rendered hospital services to the patient, each Rendering Provider must have their own claim created.

  1. In the Location section, complete the following fields:
  • Office Location: This defaults to the location the user is logged into and can remain as such.
  • Place of Service: Use the drop-down to select Inpatient Hospital.
  • Facility ID: The hospital where the services were rendered.
  • Hospital dates: The dates on which the patient received hospital services.

  1. Enter the claim information as you would with manually entering any other claim.

Note: When entering CPT codes for multiple dates, the service date needs to be edited on the specific CPT line. To do so, click in the Service Date field and then click the dropdown arrow to utilize the fly-out calendar to select the correct date for each CPT code.

  1. Once all charges have been entered, click the Save or Save + Queue button in the lower right-hand corner of the window.
