Medical Billing Charge Posting
What is charge posting or charge entry? It is the process of assigning an appropriate fee based on the fee schedule, per the chosen medical codes during the patient’s visit. The provider’s reimbursement for services rendered is dependent on the charges entered. It starts with the super bill or charge ticket, goes through coding and then goes to the charge entry person who ensures that all information is entered correctly to build the claim. The charge entry must be completed error-free, as it can increase claim denials if not entered and scrubbed correctly, and has to be done promptly so as not to miss the payer-established deadlines for filing claims.
As charge posting is the first step in a clean medical billing claim process, information such as demographics, date of service, place of service, provider details, physician,procedure and diagnostic codes need to all be added and correct. Not only is this work tedious but time-consuming as well. Any error can lead to rejection or denial of the claim by the payer, delaying payment and causing a slowdown in the cash flow of the practice. Thus it is important for the team handling charge posting to be exceptionally detail-oriented to ensure that all the information provided in the charge entry is correct.
