Pending Scrub
Claims will need to go through the Scrubbing process to check for missing data. This process will catch claims that are missing some basic information, such as insurance information, patient demographics, charge information, payer information, etc.
An option to Bypass Scrubber in the On Hold and Pending sections allows for claims missing a Provider Signature, or an invalid State for Canada and Puerto Rico to proceed to Ready to Submit. All claims must be scrubbed the first time to be certain that the only rejections are Invalid State or Missing Provider Signature.
Pending Scrub Section
Patient accounts with payer information entered into the Insurance Demographics section of the Chart/Patient Account will automatically produce a claim when new charges are Posted to the Patient Ledger, and those claims will be placed in the Pending section of the Claims Manager. Claims can be selected for Scrubbing one at a time , selected claims or all claims.
