Allow Mixed Billable and Non-Billable Codes on Claims

Allow Mixed Billable and Non-Billable Codes on Claims


With the “Allow Mixed Billable and Non-Billable Codes on Claims” group rule enabled, ICANotes users can have both billable and designated non-billable codes in the service code work area of a note, while only including billable service codes in electronic and paper claims. Security Administrators should call Support (443-569-8778) to have this rule enabled for their account.

Group administrators can designate any service code as non-billable in group-level Settings and Directories in the Service/Mod codes tab under Service Code Short List by checking the Non-Billable checkbox.

In the work areas of a note, add the billable and non-billable service codes from your short list. In this example, the 99212 service code is billable, and the 00000 service code is the designated non-billable code.

Now, when a claim is prepared for electronic or paper submission in the Billing/Productivity Report, only the billable code(s) will be included, omitting the non-billable from the claim.
On the Billing/Productivity Report Search Form, be sure to uncheck the box to exclude non-billable service codes Screenshot for Allow Mixed Billable and Non-Billable Codes on Claims
