How does the charge review workqueue benefit the revenue cycle?

The charge review workqueue plays a critical role in the revenue cycle by holding temporary charge sessions for review before they are finalized and submitted. This function is crucial for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of charges that will be billed to the patient or insurance. By allowing staff to evaluate and confirm charges, the workqueue helps identify discrepancies or errors that could lead to claim denials or delayed payments. Consequently, this thorough review process supports the overall efficiency and effectiveness of the revenue cycle, ultimately enhancing cash flow and reducing potential revenue loss related to billing inaccuracies.
