On the surface charge capture seems simple enough.  A provider documents the service/procedure that they provided and the patient diagnosis.  But there is so much more complexity that rules the charge capture process.  There is a countless number of rules, thousands of numeric codes that can change annually as new codes are introduced and others are retired.  If the changes you submit violate just one of the many rules, payment will be denied until the error is corrected and the claim re-submitted. If ambulatory healthcare providers providing hospital services in today’s tough economy and brutal insurance market think they can succeed, or even compete, without eliminating the paper and time that their current hospital charge capture and census management systems waste – they are sadly going to fail.
