Standard Fee Schedules
If you haven't already done so, please read Fee Schedules Overview before proceeding.
Summary
There are three standard fee schedules: Employer Services, Workers' Comp, and Private Practice (Usual & Customary). Employer Services fees are carried in the medical activity records, and can be entered on BILLING tab of the [Enter Medical Activity] window there. Workers' Comp and Private Practice fees are carried in the CPT code records, and can be entered on the BILLING tab of the BILLING tab of the Enter CPT Codes window there. When making changes in a few fees, these screens work fine.
If you are entering an entire new fee schedule, or making major revisions in and existing fee schedule, the easiest route is to work from the [Enter Fee Schedule] routine found on the BILLING SETUP sub-tab of the SETUP tab on the Launch Pad. This method is described below.
the program can be set to provide a special Medical Fee Schedule which, if in use, is maintained with the standard fee schedules.
