Avatar PM > Billing > Client Charge Input

This registry setting only applies to Avatar installments with a Single Server Environment.
For Multiple Server Environments, please see Fields to Include in Client Charge Input and Service Panel Charge Input - Fields To Include.

'Y' enables the following fields to define the first billing date for a service:

  • The First Billing Date field in the Client Charge Input forms

  • The Enable First Billing Date Logic field in the Guarantor/Program Billing Defaults (837 Professional, 837 Institutional, Paper CMS-1500, and Paper UB-04 sections).

If Yes is selected in this field, and a First Billing Date is entered for a service: the Service Date (2400-DTP) will populate with a date range from the first billing date to the service date.

In order for this functionality to take place, no other services can use the same service code, and treatment program for the date range.

'N' removes the fields from the forms.
