Insurance Pends by Billing Group

With the Insurance Pends by Billing Group function, you can print a detailed analysis report of procedures that have been pended, sorted by billing group. Procedures that have subsequently been paid in full or have had further activity such as a payment, adjustment, denial, or a refile are not included in the report.

Procedures are pended with the Pend Action in the Payment Entry Function.

You can use this report to generate a DMS list. To activate this function, add this report to the DMS Report Integration.
