Overview 

Only users with the role of Administrator have access to set up the Practice's Service Codes Short List.

Once a practice administrator sets up the Service Code Short List for the practice, individual users must set up their billing rates in Personal Preferences to select from the list within a note. The service code list will not appear in notes until the individual billing rates are set up. To set up your billing rates, navigate to Personal Preferences > Revenue Cycle Management > Clinical Billing Rates.

Administrators can also set up billing rates for clinicians through the Settings menu under Revenue Cycle Management > Clinical Billing Rates.

To set up your individual billing rates, navigating to Personal Preferences from the dropdown menu next to your name in the upper right corner.

Click on Revenue Cycle Management and then Clinical Billing Rates.

Add a new billing rate using the section at the top. You are only required to populate the Service Code and Billing Rate to Add the combination to your list. Optionally, you can also set a condition to pull the billing rate based on the Insurance Payer in the client chart and/or modifiers.

Use the Add button to add your code.

Once added, you will see the code populate your list at the bottom. You can Edit an entry using the pencil icon. To disable an entry in your list, uncheck the status checkbox. You will see the Status reflect appropriately.

Ability for the Administrators to Configure Billing Rates for Clinicians  

Administrators have the capability to set up billing rates for clinicians through the Settings menu under Revenue Cycle Management > Clinical Billing Rates. Clinicians can conveniently access these rates via Personal Preferences > Revenue Cycle Management > Clinical Billing Rates. Any adjustments made by administrators will be reflected in clinicians' personal preferences, and vice versa. If either party attempts to modify the billing rate for a service code associated with existing notes, a confirmation message will prompt to apply the updated rate to unfinished notes.
