In medical billing, Fee Schedule and Encounter Procedures (CPT/HCPCS) go hand in hand. Hence, these modules have been incorporated under Fee Schedule. To add, edit, deactivate and filter CPTs in SFS, follow the below-given steps.
1. Select Setup from the main menu and choose Fee Schedule. The Fee schedule window opens to manipulate the Fee Schedule and Encounter Procedures (CPT).
2. A default Standard Fee Schedule is created at the time of Account Creation. However, we can add more CPTs to the existing standard fee schedule.
Adding New CPT to Standard Fee Schedule
Click on the button from the Fee Schedule window. A window appears where New CPT information can be furnished; see Image 2.
Fill in all the mandatory fields to create New CPT-
-
- Billable Code (A CPT or A HCPCS code)
- Billable Code Description
- Billable Amount
- Category (Category of the Billable code and it may either be a CPT or an HCPCS)
Other information is not mandatory; however, it would help the billing to be easy if updated. For e.g., setting ordering provider as rendering provider, CLIA# or Mammography Certification# would facilitate the charge entry and billing process when the CPT or HCPCS is selected.
Once these fields are updated, Click on Save button to save the CPT into the Standard Fee Schedule.
Editing a CPT
To update or to do a simple edit, double-click anywhere on the CPT Line.
When the CPT is invoked, the fields become editable and can be updated with the required details.
