Add/Change/Delete Job Code
See steps below on how to add, edit or delete a job code.
Job Codes are used to describe all services provided by employees. They are used in billing to determine the Revenue Code, CPT/HCPCS Code, Place of Service, and amount to be charged for each visit. Typically, claims on a UB-04 require a Revenue Code, and possibly a CPT/HCPCS code with optional modifiers; a CMS-1500 requires CPT/HCPCS codes with optional modifiers, and a place of service code.
