Managing special rates for fee codes

You can add a rate that overrides the normal base rate(s) for a specified date range. For example, if an aesthetics clinic has a sale on laser hair removal treatments for a one-week period, they can add the special rate of $35 to replace the normal rate of $40 for that week only. When the end of the week is reached, the EMR resumes the original base rate automatically.
