When editing an existing encounter, any changes previously made to the account will remain but will not be shown on this window. Any changes made in this window will not be considered errors or shown as changes in the audit page.
Demographics
Demographics are added to the chart here. A medical record number is the only field that is required and must be unique to the Facility.
Select an existing financial class for the chart. The financial class setting will determine which hospital reimbursement values to use as well as whether the chart is ICD-9 or ICD-10.
Choose the remittance advice date here. By default, financial classes give 60 days to rebill. If the chart is edited within the timeframe of the days allowed to rebill from the remittance advice date, a message will appear on the screen indicating how many days are left.
Some times an encounter may be audited without all of the diagnoses or procedures listed on the worksheet. Use this control to add the number of unlisted DX/PRXs so that the error calculations are correct.
