How to assign a Fee Schedule to a Patient
You can now assign specific fee schedules to individual patients for non-insurance claims and procedures.
How to Assign a Fee Schedule from the Patient’s Dashboard
- Go to the Patient's Treatment or Billing Dashboard.
- Locate the Billing Information section.
- Select the appropriate Fee Schedule for the patient and save.
💥Important: The fee schedule amount will override the general clinic plan amount.
For example, if the General Clinic Plan is $65 and the Military Fee Schedule is $45, the system will charge $45.
Some clinics prefer to apply a write-off instead of an automatic override. To do this, enable the "Apply for non-insurance procedure charges" option in your Customization Settings. This will allow a write-off from the general clinic plan amount to match the fee schedule. For instance:
- General Plan: $65
- Military Fee Schedule: $45
- Write-Off: $20
- Patient Balance: $45
Tracking Fee Schedule Usage
You can also monitor fee schedule usage through a dedicated report:
- Navigate to the Reports section in your system.
- Look for the Fee Schedule Usage report.
This report details how often fee schedules have been applied, the charges per procedure, and write-off calculations per fee schedule. It’s a valuable tool for assessing the effectiveness of your fee schedules, tracking discounts, and ensuring all charges align with the correct pricing plan.
