What happens to posted charges that have insurance due in the claims process?

In the claims process, posted charges that have insurance due are added to the claims queue. This step is essential because it allows these charges to be systematically processed for reimbursement from the insurance provider. When charges are submitted to the claims queue, they undergo further review to ensure that all necessary information is included for insurance processing.

Adding charges to the claims queue ensures that they are tracked and managed effectively, allowing for any discrepancies or issues to be flagged and addressed. This process ultimately helps in expediting reimbursement, ensuring that the billing office maintains a smooth workflow and financial integrity. Managing charges in this manner is critical for the financial health of the practice, as it enables timely follow-ups and ensures that revenue is collected efficiently.
