	Medical ~~billing~~ in VEHRDICT ~~is designed to be fast, intelligent, and highly accurate, thanks~~ to ~~its AI-driven automation. As clinical documentation is completed, VEHRDICT’s AI scans~~ the ~~notes and extracts relevant CPT, HCPCS, and ICD-10~~ codes~~, reducing the need for manual coding. This significantly speeds up the creation of invoices~~ and ~~insurance~~ claims ~~while minimizing errors~~. ~~Providers also have access to a customizable list~~ of ~~favorite~~ billing ~~codes~~, ~~making it easy~~ to ~~quickly select frequently used procedures~~ and ~~diagnoses for recurring visits or specialties~~.		The Medical Billing & Claims features in VEHRDICT are built to help your practice manage the entire revenue cycle—from capturing billing codes to tracking payments and resubmitting denied claims. This support page explains how each part of the billing workflow functions in the system, and how you can use VEHRDICT to ensure faster reimbursements and fewer billing errors.

			===CPT/ICD code selection and AI extraction===
			When documenting a patient encounter, VEHRDICT automatically scans the clinical notes and suggests appropriate CPT and ICD-10 codes based on the content. These AI-suggested codes appear in the billing section of the encounter for your review. You can accept, remove, or manually add additional codes as needed. If your practice uses a set of common codes frequently, you can mark them as favorites so they are easy to access and reuse for future visits.

	~~To further reduce administrative workload~~, VEHRDICT can automatically ~~extract insurance information from scanned documents and PDFs using OCR (Optical Character Recognition) technology. This eliminates~~ the ~~need~~ to ~~retype policy details, ensuring more accurate~~ and ~~consistent insurance data entry~~. ~~Additionally, VEHRDICT includes built-in insurance eligibility verification, allowing staff~~ to ~~confirm coverage in real time~~. ~~Before submission~~, the ~~system checks~~ for ~~completeness and compliance~~, ~~helping identify any missing information that might lead to claim rejections~~.		===Claim generation and clearinghouse submission===
			Once billing codes and patient insurance information are finalized, VEHRDICT can generate a claim with just a few clicks. The system automatically formats the claim according to ANSI 837P standards and submits it to your connected clearinghouse. You don’t need to export files or handle separate billing software—everything happens directly from within the EHR. Each claim is assigned a tracking ID, and the status is monitored continuously for updates such as accepted, rejected, or paid.

			===Eligibility verification===
			Before submitting a claim or even during check-in, VEHRDICT allows you to verify a patient's insurance eligibility in real time. This feature connects to insurance payers electronically and confirms active coverage, plan details, and co-pay information. You can access the verification results from the patient profile or directly from the appointment screen. Verifying eligibility ahead of time helps reduce claim denials and prevents surprises for both the practice and the patient.

	~~Once a claim~~ is ~~ready~~, VEHRDICT ~~automatically submits~~ it to ~~a designated clearinghouse for processing~~. The ~~entire lifecycle~~ of ~~each claim—including submission~~, ~~acceptance~~, ~~rejections~~, ~~and payments—is tracked and updated within VEHRDICT~~. ~~This allows~~ billing ~~staff~~ and ~~providers~~ to ~~easily monitor the status of every claim~~, ~~quickly identify issues~~, ~~and take corrective action when needed. The result is a more streamlined billing workflow, reduced claim denials, and faster reimbursement cycles~~.		===Payment posting===
			When payment information is received from the clearinghouse or entered manually, VEHRDICT makes it easy to post payments to the correct patient account. The system can automatically match Explanation of Benefits (EOB) data with submitted claims, and apply payments, adjustments, or patient balances accordingly. Staff can view posted payments in the billing history section and apply filters to review specific services, dates, or payers.

			===Denial management and resubmissions===
			If a claim is denied or returned with errors, VEHRDICT highlights the issue and provides guidance on what needs to be corrected. You can open the claim, make the necessary adjustments, and resubmit it directly through the system without re-entering all the data. All denial reasons and resubmission attempts are logged, allowing your staff to track patterns and reduce repeat issues. This helps ensure quicker resolutions and fewer delays in reimbursement.

			===Patient invoicing and receipts===
	~~Medical billing is a critical part of the healthcare workflow~~, ~~ensuring providers receive accurate~~ and ~~timely payments for services rendered~~. ~~'''VEHRDICT''' offers an integrated billing workflow that begins at~~ the ~~point of patient care~~ and ~~ends with~~ payment ~~posting~~. ~~From insurance verification to charge transmission and denial management~~, ~~this guide outlines the full medical billing lifecycle.~~		VEHRDICT can generate detailed invoices for patient balances, including charges, payments, and adjustments. You can print or email invoices directly from the system, and each invoice includes your practice’s information and payment instructions. When a payment is made, a receipt can be issued immediately. This ensures that patients are well-informed of their financial responsibility and that your practice maintains clear and professional billing records.


	~~== Patient Encounters ==~~

	~~All billing begins with~~ a ~~documented patient encounter—either in-person or via telemedicine~~. ~~Providers~~ are ~~responsible for recording:~~


	* '''Patient Condition (DX) and ~~Services (CPT)'''~~
	* '''Transcription of Encounter Audio/Video'''
	* '''Final Documentation in EHR'''


	~~Once transcribed, documents like H&P reports, consults,~~ and ~~operative notes are uploaded to the patient chart, forming the foundation for accurate~~ billing ~~and coding~~.
