Appointment Requirements: By default, completed appointments by your company’s definition will pull into the Billing Export

Include Demo Client: Select if you want demo clients to appear on the export

Include Late Entries: When selected, the system looks for appointments prior to the start date entered that were previously incomplete but are now complete

• EX: If an appointment in June was incomplete when running the BER for June appointments but has since been completed and now user is running the BER for July appointments, that June appointment will populate in the export as part of the late entries feature

• To prevent duplicate billing, it will only pull once

  • EX: Tomorrow if I pull this same report for this date range, the late entry appointment(s) won’t show again. The system thinks you already billed it. Suggested that if late entries are included in the export, save that document

Red flags for potential billing issues

• EX: No Authorization - System is flagging there is no authorization attached to that appointment. Refer to your funder, if your funder needs authorization, you may need to attach that before you bill

• EX: Staff Overlap and Client Overlap

  • Staff Overlap: One staff member providing services to more than one client at the same time (Could be group service – maybe your funder allows this. IF they don’t, make adjustment)

  • Client Overlap: More than one staff member is providing services to the same client – Maybe a two on one service or a direct therapy and parent training is happening. Lots of funders allow this.

  • Can always adjust the spreadsheet instead of adjusting appointments in the system and rerunning

    • EX: Alter the start time so appointments don’t overlap (client/staff overlap)
