In Progress Billing can be used for programs with billing threshold requirements, if desired. For example, encounters linked to a program that has billing threshold rules can be held as
In Progress until the practice determines the program threshold has been reached. This prevents those encounters from going through the billing process and creating claims until after the threshold is reached.
CAUTION:
Once
In Progress Billing has been enabled, it cannot be disabled. It should only be enabled when needed.
In Progress Billing is not required for Behavioral Health Billing.
