At this point, you can select from a patient form/visit that was previously filled out in the patient chart to include the CPT/ICD codes selected from the visit.

In the final step, (4) Request Details, start by verifying the codes selected are correct.

Next, (3) Attach Files, this is where you can upload additional clinical documents that may be required for your Concierge to send along with the claim.

Select Create to complete submitting a claim request.
