## Requirements: AS.8.2 Support Rules-Driven Financial & Administrative Coding (Function)

Page standards status: Informative

Statement N:

Provide financial and administrative coding assistance based on the structured data and unstructured text available in the encounter documentation.

Description I:

The user is assisted in coding information for billing or administrative reasons. For example, in the US Domain, the HIPAA 837 Professional claim requires the date of the last menstrual cycle for claims involving pregnancy. To support the generation of this transaction, the provider would need to be prompted to enter this date when the patient is first determined to be pregnant, then making this information available for the billing process.
