What this section is for

The Charges section holds the line items that make up the total charge for the claim. Each line item has a procedure code, an optional modifier, units, a rate, and a date.

Adding a line

  1. Click Add Line in the Charges section header.
  2. Pick a Procedure Code from the dropdown. The list is built from your agency's fee schedule for the billing location on this claim.
  3. Pick a Modifier if one applies. Common modifiers describe the type of transport — for example, paramedic vs. EMT, or whether the transport started with an emergency response.
  4. Click Additional Modifiers to add more modifiers beyond the first one.
  5. Enter the number of Units. For mileage lines, units are the number of loaded miles.
  6. The Rate / Amount fills in automatically from the fee schedule when you pick a code. Override it if you need a different amount.
  7. Enter the Date. It usually matches the date of service.
  8. Check the Mileage box if this line is a mileage line.

Reviewing charges

Each line shows a Line Total on the right (units × rate), and the section footer shows Total Charges for the whole claim. Check that the procedure codes, units, and amounts all look right before you submit.

Removing a line

Click Remove at the end of a line to delete it.

Tips

  • If the procedure code list is empty, check that your agency has a fee schedule set up for this claim's billing location. Missing fee schedules are the most common cause of empty or zero charges.
  • For mileage lines, the units should match the mileage you entered in the Transport section.
  • Always review charges before submitting a claim. An incorrect amount can lead to an overpayment that you will need to refund later.
