New feature: Fee Schedules and Balance Billing Controls
We now have fee schedules and balance billing controls for our medical billing customers. By balance billing controls we mean automatic posting of contractual obligations to patient balances.
Fee schedules can be accessed at the bottom of the billing center here if you are logged in.
Fee schedules allow different default prices for different payer id’s (determined by the primary insurance company of the patient for the appointment.)
Balance Billing can be adjusted here.
All users are doing balance billing by default right now. However, the most common setting for doctor’s is to NOT do balance billing if they accept insurance.
NOTE:
Balance billing True -> Patient’s are charged for Contractual Obligations
Balance Billing False -> Patient’s are not charged for contractual obligations, they get credits/adjustments when contractual obligations come back in ERA’s, EOB’s.
