Info

The Concurrency Scheme: New and Concurrency Scheme: [name] pages are comprised of three tabs:

The Physical Status Modifiers tab allows you to record a custom modifier for each physical status modifier to appear on the claim for payers who require different modifiers than the standard unit values, for example, MediCal. The modifiers assigned to each physical status replace the physical status modifiers designated in the fee schedule when the claim is generated for that payer. The fees are calculated based on the billing units of the physical status modifier. The custom modifier only appears on the claim in place of the billing unit.
