⚠️ Important: This setting only applies to Alberta HLink, PEI, Manitoba and British Columbia Teleplan.
Soft billing validation automatically checks bills against the provincial insurer to verify if any key information is missing, such as fee code or health card number.
With soft validation turned on, you can save the bill with validation errors; however, an error message is displayed in the bill and in the Status column of the main Insured Payments window.
With soft validation turned off, you receive an error and cannot save the bill.
To enable or disable this setting, refer to Customizing your insured payment settings.
📌 Note: The CHR automatically checks the bill against its internal validation first to verify if any key information, such as a billing provider is not missing. If a bill is missing this information, you are unable to save it. A validation error appears.
