The Charge Entry process entails entering important inputs and details to enable claims processing in the medical billing cycle. The most important step here is to add the diagnosis codes and their sequence, procedure codes and modifiers as they have direct bearing on the approval of the claim and the reimbursement.
Understanding of the Superbill, which includes a listing of procedures, service and diagnosis codes, and entering the correct codes, defines the quality of the charge entry process.
Any error at this stage can lead to denials and lead to inappropriate reimbursements. Hence, accuracy and efficiency at this step is very crucial.
