Billing statuses identify what stage a claim is in and what steps should be taken next. A claim's billing status is found by selecting the Billing and Submission Report filters from the Dashboard.
Pending
Claim has not been billed but is saved as a session in the calendar.
Billed
Claim has been submitted.
Never Billed
Claim for which the calendar session was entered and removed before the claim was able to be submitted. This will show up as a $0.00 line item.
Received
Indicates the amount expected was received.
Note: If you manually mark this option as Received, it will automatically mark it paid at the full billed amount instead of the contractual amount.
Error
A claim is in this status for one of multiple reasons. Three examples include:
- Claim is failing to submit because client is missing key demographic information. For example, the Subscriber Number is missing.
- Claim was denied by the payer.
- Waterfall map is not set up properly or secondary subscriber number is missing from InsuranceNumbers link.
You can see the Error information by checking off the Display Errors check box when running the Submission Report.
