A charge session refers to the process of recording and submitting charges for medical procedures or services provided to a patient.

In other words, warnings are more like suggestions or notifications that something might not be optimal, but they don't prevent the program or system from functioning.

This allows for a thorough review of the charges to ensure accuracy before they are finalized and posted. By using this button, healthcare providers can ensure that any errors or discrepancies are caught and corrected before the charges are billed to the patient or insurance company.
