Fee Schedule Module

The fee schedule module provides financial information appropriate to each charge item, allowing you to compare your facility's current pricing against published state and national APC, Lab and DME rates. The information is displayed within a tab in the Active Info window:

APC Payment Rate
Lab Fee
DME Fee
LAB

This tab displays the Lab payment rate for the relevant line item, and lets you compare it with the rate charged by your facility.
Physician

This tab displays the Physician Fee payment rate for the relevant line item, and lets you compare it with the rate charged by your facility.

You can set a filter that lets you view only those charge items that have a rate that is under, over or equal to the published APC, Lab or DME rate. You can then examine each of those charge items in turn; the Active Info window shows you the difference between the published rate and your facility's rate, and any resulting impact in revenue. If a filter is applied then a filter icon will appear on the particular fee schedule's tab.

When you are finished with one of the APC, Lab Fee or DME Fee tabs, remember to remove the current filter, by selecting the No Filter option.

The APC and DME fee schedules require parameters to be set in the Options window.
