DNFB in Medical Billing
DNFB stands for “Discharged Not Final Billed,” meaning the patient has been discharged, but the claim has not yet been submitted for billing.
DNFB in Medical Billing Explained
In medical billing, DNFB status indicates that while the patient has been discharged from care, their claim is still in process and needs additional documentation or coding before it can be submitted. This helps prevent billing errors and delays.
For example, a hospital’s billing department may have a DNFB report that lists all patients who have been discharged but whose claims are still being finalized.
