DESCRIPTION: This is the name of the type of event that can be stored in Claims Tracking. Only certain types of
events or visits are known to Claims Tracking. Adding or deleting entries can have unwanted
effects on the IB package. Currently only inpatient, outpatient, prosthetics, and Rx Refill visits
are known to IB. Future plans call for adding Fee Basis visits. This is limited to those areas
that we currently have legislative authority to bill.

LAST EDITED: AUG 02, 1993
HELP-PROMPT: Enter "YES" if this type of entry can be automatically billed.

DESCRIPTION: This is the maximum number of days allowed on a single bill for this type of care.
For example, if outpatient bills have a billing cycle of 7 days then one bill will be created for a

in one month intervals.
