PATIENT ENCOUNTER PAYER BILL RATES TAB


You can assign specific bill rates to a payer that you attach to a Patient Encounter record. This option will allow you to better control bill rates for patients that have unique requirements for billing services. In some situations, the payer may instruct to bill at a specific rate and pay at a specific rate based on patient’s diagnosis, condition and need for service as well as the type of service you are providing. You may also be negotiating bill rates with a specific private patient that will require you to change the associate’s pay rates so that you can meet your specific profit margin and still may be able to accommodate the patient’s need for service.
