Split claims.

Save time and effort by quickly creating multiple claims from a single encounter. This greatly reduces the manual effort required to create claims with the same or similar information. The created claims will automatically go through the claim scrubbing process, and you can quickly make corrections if needed.

For example, assume you want to send a claim with a lab location and another with an office location. The claim splitting feature lets you do that with just a click of a button.

The Split Claims button will appear only when:

There is more than one line item in the encounter

At least one line item has a location different from the encounter location

The encounter doesn't have a previous claim or a payment (applied or unapplied)

Click Split Claims. — Click **Split Claims**.

A pop-up appears in which line items are grouped based on the location. For example, if the first line item has a location, it will be grouped under the associated location. If a line item doesn't have a location, it will be grouped under the encounter level location.

Update Grouping

Drag and drop line items to change the grouping.

Remember, the number of non-empty groups will be equal to the number of claims or encounters created and the line items in a group will appear in the claims/encounters created.
