Medication Charging allows charging for medications based on which events?

Charging is tied to the event that triggers billing: when the medication is dispensed or when it is actually administered. In outpatient settings, the charge often happens at the time of dispensing—when the medication leaves the pharmacy or clinic to the patient. In inpatient or certain clinic scenarios, the charge is created when the medication is administered to the patient, reflecting the service of giving the dose as well as the drug itself. Some systems support both events to ensure complete revenue capture and compliance with payer rules. This means charging can occur at either point, depending on workflow and payer requirements.
