What is a Fee Program?
A Fee Program provides the structure for how a patient will pay, and is where you configure the specific fees, specialty codes, and diagnostic codes specific to this payment structure.
Examples of Fee Programs
- Direct Billing to Patient
- Sliding Scale Billing Program
- Insurance Specific Billing
In the case of insurance providers, each insurer should have their own fee programs in order to link registration numbers, and insurer specific prices.
The structure of the fee program is managed through the creation of the following codes:
Once the fee program has been created the individual codes in it are referenced by Billing Templates which are used to generate an invoice. For more information on Billing Templates, please refer to this article.
Service Codes
Service codes will tell Adracare how to charge a patient for service rendered or product sold in an invoice.
