What is a Fee Program?
A Fee Program provides the structure for how a patient will pay, and is where you create the fees for your services.
Examples of Fee Programs
- Direct Billing to Patient
- Sliding Scale Billing Program

In the case of insurance providers, each insurer should have their own fee programs in order to link registration numbers, and insurer specific prices.

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.
