Many offices create all insurance claims for any given day at the same time instead of one patient at a time throughout the day. The Office Manager allows you to create all primary insurance claims for procedures posted within the selected date range and for the selected providers and Billing Types. This feature will exclude any procedure codes and insurance companies that are flagged "Do Not Bill to Insurance." For information on flagging procedure codes, click Procedure code setup.
