Charge Capture

Charge capture is the process healthcare providers use to record and document the services or procedures performed during a patient's visit, ensuring they are billed correctly to insurance or the patient. Accurate charge capture involves documenting everything from basic check-ups to complex surgeries, so the healthcare provider receives proper payment. It is essential for maintaining financial accuracy, compliance with regulations, and ensuring the healthcare practice’s sustainability. Effective charge capture relies on detailed documentation and proper coding, preventing lost revenue and reducing billing errors.
