How to Add or Edit Fee Schedules in Insurances
If you are in-network with an insurance company or you are just aware of what an insurance company agrees to pay for a particular procedural (billing) code, then you can use Maximum Allowed Rate to calculate patient responsibility as well as to make your Accounts Receivable more accurate.
What Is A Maximum Allowed Rate?
A Maximum Allowed Rate refers to the predetermined price an insurance company allows for a particular procedural (CPT) code. Sometimes Maximum Allowed Rate is referred to as insurer ‘Contract Rates’ or ‘Fee Schedules’.
You must check what the insurer is going to pay for each CPT code and enter that amount as 'Rate' in your zHealthEHR's Insurances > Add/Edit CPT Rates section. Note that each billing code will have its own Maximum Allowed Rate box.
1. On the top right corner of the zHealth Dashboard, you will see Your Name (Provider Name). Hover the cursor over your name and a drop-down menu will open. Click on - Update Info - and a new window will open.
