Billing Encounter (Ticket) Number
The Billing encounter or Ticket numbers are standardized and unique for each provider in a practice group.
​
Example of Ticket Numbers:
455 - 105
455 - 106
455 - 107
The first set of numbers represent the unique physician number (i.e. 455)
The last set of numbers represent the unique ticket number (i.e. 105)
(Note: You may start at any ticket number and subsequent submissions will be set in sequential order.)
It is important to note that ticket numbers will not be assigned to a particular ticket until it is submitted. You can think of it as a barcode label thats placed on a product at the end of a factory line. Tickets are not required to be sent in a particular order (i.e. date of service) as all the information pertaining to that encounter will be migrated together with that unique ticket number.
