What action must Dr. Mica take in order to get paid for the procedure performed in-office?

To ensure that Dr. Mica gets paid for the procedure performed in-office, it is essential to file a charge in the Charge Capture section. This step is critical because the Charge Capture process is the mechanism through which the healthcare provider documents the services rendered and records them for billing purposes. This is how the service is officially communicated to the billing department, enabling the submission of a claim to the insurance provider or the patient.

Selecting an LOS (Level of Service) code might be necessary for documentation, but it doesn't constitute filing a charge, which is the direct action that triggers payment. Similarly, printing an AVS (After Visit Summary) provides useful information for the patient but does not impact the billing process directly. Lastly, simply assuming that nothing more needs to be done after completing the procedure would fail to initiate the necessary billing actions required for reimbursement, which makes filing the charge an indispensable step for generating revenue for the practice.
