What is the contact serial number assigned to each patient visit or encounter, used to look up charges?

The contact serial number is the unique identifier assigned to each patient encounter. This CSN links all charges, payments, and adjustments for that visit, so you can pull up the entire billing for a specific encounter simply by searching the CSN. Other identifiers like DAR or HAR refer to different records, and an Encounter is the event itself rather than the billing key used to retrieve charges.
