Release Unposted

The Release Unposted option is available in the Billing View of the ledger.  This feature may be used when Claim Hold Days have been set on a visit, but you wish to release the claim sooner than was originally specified via the Claim Hold Days.  In the Billing View of the Ledger in the Submit Date column, the Submit Date will display the date the claim is due to be released, based on the number of days that was entered in Claim Hold Days during Visit Entry.  The claim the claim will display as light blue (unposted) in the Billing View and will not be filed until the Submit Date has been reached. In the Activity View, the claim will show with a WAIT beside it to indicate that it is waiting to be filed.

The Release Unposted option may be performed from the Billing View on an unposted claim by either right-clicking to invoke the pop-up menu, or selecting the Options button at the bottom of the screen.   Release Unposted will change the submit date to the current date, but the claim will continue to show as "unposted" (light blue) until the next closeout is performed, at which time the claim will be released and will generate.  The Released Unposted option is only available when there is a claim with Claim Hold Days set on it; otherwise, it displays in light grey on the Option button or the pop-up menu and may not be used.
