Charge Capture: Plugging the Leak Between Care and the Claim
Services rendered but never billed are pure lost revenue. A disciplined charge-capture process closes the gap between the visit and the claim.
Charge capture is the process of recording every billable service and getting it onto a claim. Missed charges — a procedure not posted, a supply not recorded — are revenue that simply vanishes, and they rarely show up in any report.
Where charges leak
- Services delivered but never coded
- Late or lost charge slips and encounter forms
- Disconnects between clinical and billing systems
- Bundled items billed as if included
Tighten the process
Reconcile schedules to charges daily, automate charge entry from the EHR where possible, and audit for missing-charge patterns by provider and service.
