Charge capture is the process of recording the services a provider performed so they are billed. It is the bridge between care delivered and the claim — if a service is not captured, it is never billed and never paid.
Charges can be lost through missed documentation, services not entered, or codes dropped between the encounter and the claim.
Why it matters for billing
Missed charges are silent revenue loss — the work was done but never billed. Reliable charge capture, with reconciliation between encounters and claims, ensures the practice actually bills for the care it delivers.
