The APC Verify option will display when there is an APC claim at the Unchecked status present on the account. TruBridge recommends that Medical Records verify the CPT codes and Modifiers that are attached to the charges on insurance claims that will be reimbursed off of APC.

 

TruBridge EHR looks to the following table maintenance to determine if the claim is an APC claim.

Medical Records may run the Claims with Missing Information Report to identify APC Claims that are at the Unchecked status that need to be reviewed. The Reason for Not Billing column on the report will display (APC Claim) on accounts that need to be reviewed. For more information on this report please see the HIM Print Reports User Guide.
