Posting Electronic Superbill Charges

Version 20.3

Overview

Once your office is fully live and utilizing the EHR side of the OP software, the clinical side of the system begins to generate superbill charges for the patient. Those charges make up the electronic superbill. The electronic superbill may be posted from within the Tracking screen (most common), the Superbill tab in the Billing Center, or the Patient Chart.

  • Location
  • Office Location
  • Service Dates
  • ICD-10 Code(s)
  • CPT Codes

NoteIf the same CPT code needs to be billed twice for a medication, but the NDC ID differs for the two instances of the code, enter the NDC ID that is not housed in the CPT code table for that CPT.

  • NDC ID(s), if applicable

NoteTo review the patient's visit note to ensure that all services rendered are displayed on the Superbill, click the View Event Chronology button (located below the blue up and down arrows) to navigate to the Event Chronology for the patient's visit. If edits are necessary after reviewing the Chron, navigate back to the patient and click the Edit button.

  • Move Charge Lines: The up and down arrows may be used to reorganize the lines of a claim so that they are displayed in a particular order.
  • Patient Responsibility: Select this checkbox for any charge lines in a claim that are the patient's responsibility. The charge line is submitted to insurance on the claim, but the balance will remain with the patient.
  • Vax Cnsl: This checkbox is displayed on the charge as it was charted by the Provider or person administering the Vaccine. If you need to edit this checkbox, click the Modify button to apply the change.

Note

As you are manually creating claims or converting electronic superbills, you may find that you need to record other claim information that is not found in the Basic Information tab of the Add/Edit Charges window. This is where you will use the Other Items (1-27) tab. The Other Items (1-27) tab in the Add/Edit Charges window is described below. 

The Other Items (1-27) tab can be used to add or edit the following claim information:

  • Type of Insurance coverage (this is defaulted according to the Insurance carrier for the claim and should not need to be edited)
  • Claim relation to employment, auto, or other accident
  • Dates of illness or injury as they pertain to the claim
  • Referring or Ordering Physician(s) and their NPI numbers
  • Referral or Prior Authorization numbers
  • Any other locally reported items as dictated by your state's insurance companies

  2. Select the Option you would like to use for saving the charges: Save, Save + Queue, or Cancel. Continue with the next charge to post. The posted charges are displayed under the Current / Posted Charges section of the window.
