Hi @Nilesh_Hake
MBO is Miscellaneous Billing Options encounter form.

Thanks @sjpadgett but how that is used for claim submission or which time that will be used at time of claim submission or claim rejection

If memory serves me, MBO is mostly used in HCFA 1500 for missing items that billing doesn’t handle in normal billing workflow. Though not sure, also some items may pertain to X12 generation.

I put this feature in billing back in 5.0.1 as a convenience. Previously, the form was only used in the pertinent encounter. Now can be generated in both places.
