Creating fee schedules (fee lists)

If your clinic is multi-disciplinary or offers several groups of services or products, you can create a fee schedule (fee list) for each group of services or products. When you create multiple fee schedules, you can:

Manage fee codes for each fee schedule individually.

Print a unique list of fee codes for each fee schedule.

Assign specific fee schedules to insurers or other third parties you bill to.

Note: You can assign only one fee schedule to each insurer. If you create multiple fee schedules that can be charged to patients directly (for example, you have a fee schedule for physiotherapy services, and a fee schedule for chiropractic services), you must create multiple patient “insurers” (for example, “Physio patients” and “Chiro patients”).
For information on how to assign a fee schedule to an insurer, see Managing third-parties (insurers) you bill to.
