Charge Capture Services: Ensuring Revenue Integrity in Healthcare
Charge capture is the process of accurately recording every billable service provided to patients. In practical terms, it means linking each clinical activity to a billing code so that nothing goes unbilled. As one industry guide explains, charge capture is the “systematic recording of billable services and items provided during a patient’s care,” ensuring that all services rendered are documented and reimbursed. In other words, if a service isn’t captured, it can’t be billed — and revenue is lost.
