Charge Batches / Batches Tab
Overview
The Charge Batches tab contains a list of existing charge batches. The charge batch is the control file for billing charged related to cases. A charge batch must be created and then cases added to it. The cases in a charge batch do not have to share any similarities. However, charge batches are generally used to group cases that are similar in some way. For example, they all originated from the same facility. After all cases are added to a charge batch, the charge batch is submitted so that claims and billing statements are generated.
