Updated: 06/26/2023|Views: 1247

Users with the appropriate permissions can access and edit a self-pay charge as often as needed until the charge is approved. Once approved, the charge is placed under the Approved by Biller status of the Charges page as read-only and cannot be modified.

    Note: For Self-Pay Only enabled practices, approved charges can be unapproved based on the user's permissions. Unapproving a charge moves the charge to the Pending Billing Approval status of the Charges page and retains payments assigned in the Payment Information section of the charge capture. However, the associated claim(s) and payment(s) in the Desktop Application (PM) will be deleted.
