automatically created in a batch for billing and accounting modules. Batches
can be posted at any time to update the patient accounts. Batches provide for

charges are lost.

the system using comma delimited (CSV) file or with HL7

charges. The Billing programs determine which type of invoice
the charges are to be listed based on the appropriate paysource
coverage of the patient.
