What is a method of PB charge entry where charges do not go through the charge router?

Manual Entry is a method of Professional Billing charge entry where charges are input directly into the system without utilizing an automated process like a charge router. This approach allows billing personnel to enter charges as they see fit, often used in situations where charges may not be automatically generated through electronic systems or where specific adjustments need to be made that automated processes might not accommodate.

In contrast, other methods like charge routing typically involve automated pathways designed to streamline the charge entry process, ensuring that all relevant data is collected efficiently. Using manual entry can be necessary for cases involving unique situations or corrections, thereby offering flexibility but often at the cost of efficiency compared to automated systems.
