Info

The Practice: New and Practices: [name] pages are comprised of fourteen tabs:

The Fee Schedules tab allows you to manage billing and expected fee schedules for the practice. There are two sections to the page: Billing Fee Schedules and Expected Fee Schedules.

The billing fee schedule is used for non-contractual fees and contains the fee structure for the following procedure types: anesthesia, medicine services, pathology and laboratory, radiology services, surgery, and pain management, including professional modifier (26) and technical modifier (TC). This fee schedule contains the fees for services, conversion factors, modifiers, and relative value units (RVU).

The expected fee schedule contains the expected payment for the following procedure types: anesthesia, medicine services, pathology and laboratory, radiology services, surgery, and pain management, including professional modifier (26) and technical modifier (TC). This is often used for contractual fees and contains the fee structure for calculating the allowed amount expected for services rendered to an insured of a specific payer. This fee schedule contains the flat rates and fees that are not going to be calculated by the billing fee schedule. Typically, the expected fee schedule contains only anesthesia procedures that will be charged a flat fee or percentage.

When creating or updating a fee schedule, the information displays in four tabs:

See the Configuring Fee Schedules topic for additional details.
