True or False: One charge ticket is the equivalent of one charge entry session.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Not sure
• D. Sometimes

Answer: (A)

One charge ticket is created to capture all billable items for a single patient encounter, and the entry of those charges into the billing system happens during one charge entry session. The idea is one ticket maps to one session: you open a ticket for an encounter, review the services, apply codes, and finalize charges within that same session. So the statement is true. In practice, a ticket may list multiple line items for different services billed in that encounter, but you wouldn’t typically split that into separate entry sessions. If there were separate sessions, that would imply separate tickets, which isn't how this system is designed.
