| Account # | Enter a code in the field. The program uses this code as the lab account number when it is appropriate to do so based on your billing settings. See the Setting Billing Account Numbers topic. |
| MSH-6 Override | Enter the value that will override the existing location-level or host-level setting for populating MSH-6, if necessary. If this field is empty, the system uses the host settings to populate MSH-6. |
