When is a claim typically generated for submission to the payer in Resolute?

In Resolute, claims are typically generated when encounter data is finalized, such as at discharge. This is because finalization means the encounter record is complete and verified—all necessary details like diagnoses, procedures, dates, payer information, and other required fields have been entered and validated. Submitting a claim only after the encounter is finalized helps ensure the claim is accurate and complete, reducing denials and the need for resubmission. Generating a claim right after service initiation would risk missing important data, and patient consent is not a billing trigger. A daily midnight batch without regard to encounter status could delay or mismanage claims for open or incomplete encounters. So the standard practice is to generate the claim when the encounter data is finalized (or upon discharge), aligning the billing submission with a complete, verified record.
