Charges and Fees #

Phoenix shows charge-related values in the patient charge row, the Transaction Code record, and Fee Schedules. Review the correct area before changing an amount.

1. Review the patient charge #

  • Verify patient, case, dates of service, transaction code, Amount, Units, and Extended.
  • Review provider, modifiers, place of service, payments, adjustments, and balance.
  • Treat payment and balance columns as financial activity, not fee setup.

  • Confirm the selected code.
  • Review Charge, Expected, CPT, revenue code, modifiers, and place of service.
  • Do not change shared code setup to correct a single patient charge unless you are authorized.

3. Review the Fee Schedule #

  • Confirm the schedule name and associated insurance company.
  • Review Effective Start Date and Effective End Date.
  • Find the matching transaction-code row.
  • Compare Charge, Co-Pay, and Expected without treating them as interchangeable.

If the source of an amount remains unclear, preserve the current records and ask a billing supervisor or PSS support before overwriting patient or shared configuration.
