Overview
The Charge Batch Error Check tab is used for validating the charge batch for errors before submitting it and generating claims.
Cases in the charge batch are validated for certain conditions reported as errors or warnings.
- Errors affect claims generation and must be corrected for a claim to be created.
- Warnings may cause a claim to be rejected by a payer and do not have to be corrected for a claim to be created.
In addition to errors and warnings, the date and time the last error check occurred is reported. If an error check has never been performed for a charge batch, the text displayed will be Last Check: (pending). Each time an error check is completed, this text is updated and displayed in the following format: Last Check: mm/dd/yyyy, hh:mm:ss AM/PM, for example, Last Check: 07/08/2013, 4:35:14 PM.
Multiple cases can be selected from the list to then apply the action error buttons to all selected cases concurrently.
