In medical billing, timely filing is very important. If we know the timely filing limit, we have to confirm whether our claim is within the timely filing limit, when the timely filing is going to exceed, or if our claim is already out of the timely filing limit.
So, this calculator helps us in answering questions like what is the last date of timely filing (TFL) and what is the first day after timely filing (AFL). It also helps us confirm whether our claim is still within the timely filing limit (TFL) or if the timely filing has already been exceeded.
TFL&AFL Calculator
How To Use:
On the first box, enter the DOS (Date of Service).
On the second box, enter the TFL (Timely Filing Limit) of the insurance in days.
The third box is a dropdown with two options. If you want to check the last day of the timely filing limit, select “TFL Last Day”. If you want to check the day filing exceeds, select “AFL First Day”.
Click Enter to see the results.
On the first box of output, you will get the date(day) based on your input.
On the second box of output, you will get the days difference from today.
