What is a billable window?
Billable windows in STAR are set to span from the 1st of the previous month to the current date to encourage timely filing in STAR. Providers will encounter an error message regarding timely filing issues when they attempt to submit services for dates of service outside of the current billable window.
Billable windows span from the 1st of the previous month to the current date. For example, if today is 10/15, the current billable window will be set to 9/1.
| Note |
|---|
Billable windows reset on the 1st of each month. For example, on 11/1, the billable window will update from 9/1 to 10/1. Unless, it is specifically requested otherwise. |
| Tip |
|---|
Requests to reset a billable window are valid for 30 days in STAR. If a request to reset the billable window is submitted on 10/15, it will be valid until 11/15 and will not be effected by the typical reset date configuration. |
