Executive summary. Capture a billable encounter with the service details your billing team needs to review.
Definition
An encounter is the Attergo Billing record used to organize a patient service before claim processing.
Who this is for
Billing specialists, and clinical staff authorized to record service detail.
How to begin
In Billing, choose New encounter and enter the service, practitioner, patient, and date. Read the record back before saving it.
Complete the workflow
Open the saved encounter to complete or correct whatever your workflow permits. The encounter carries billing detail; the clinical record stays where your organization keeps it.
Frequently asked questions
What if information is missing?
