Flag | Shorthand | Description |
Billed | +/- B | The billed flag is set by the system when an item is billed. |
Deleted | +/- D | Deleted items only show up when specifically searched for on the Chart Item report, will not result in billing, and will result in any associated Claim Item being voided. |
Forced | +/- F | The forced flag is only set by a clerk or administrator, and forces items to be immune from rejection for certain errors like overlapping other encounters. |
Hold | +/- H | The hold flag can be set by a clerk, an administrator, or the system. This flag prevents the item from
being approved. The intent is to set this flag, the status back to
draft, and a comment is added (which shows up in the item's history).
Before approving the item the clerk can verify the problem has been
resolved first and unset the flag before approving. |
NoBill | +/- N | The NoBill flag is either set by the system for non-billable services or by users on demand. Items with the NoBill flag set will not result in billing, and will result in any associated Claim Item being voided. |
Overlap | +/- O | The overlap flag is only set or unset by the system when an item
overlaps another item. All overlapping items are flagged as overlapping.
In other words, if an encounter overlaps another encounter, both
encounters are flagged as overlapping. Overlapping encounters can be
found by searching for them specifically on the Chart Item report. |
Rejected | +/- R | The rejected flag is only set by the system, and once set the status can
not be changed until the problem is resolved and the rejected flag is
unset. |
Signed | +/- S | The signed flagged is set automatically when a user signs a Chart Item. |
Version | +/- V | When the status of a signed chart item is set to Draft, a copy is made and the original is flagged as Deleted. The copy is set to Draft and flagged with this flag to indicate that the document has been revised. |
