Update Charges Already Entered
RATE CHANGE EXAMPLE: Today is 07/30/2020. Our SN rate changed on 04/01/2020. We’ve updated the rates in Codes>Rates>Job Codes today, but the claim is still showing the old amount. How do we fix charges on visits that have already been entered?
- Go to Billing>Other>Recalculate Visit Charges
- On the left side of the screen, enter the from/thru date. For example, if the effective date of the new rate was 04/01/2020 and you entered the rate change today, the from date would be 04/01/2020 and the through date would be the current days date to ensure all charges get corrected.
- On the right side of the screen, enter the Program and Job Code that had the rate adjustment.
- Optional: Select one chart number only. When you select the chart the from date defaults to the admit date. Pay attention if you need to change these dates.
- Click the ReCalculate Visit Charges button
- Print the report as needed then click on Close.
