Fee Schedules
Fee Schedules are used to manage Medicare Benefits Scheme (MBS), Dept. of Veterans Affairs (DVA), Health Fund, Third Party and Custom fee schedules. Schedules can be assigned to Practices and Providers.
To configure or create new fee schedules, click More at the top of the page to reveal a drop-down list, and click Settings. Click Accounts.
Click Schedules.
The Schedules homepage displays a list of MediRecords fee schedules available at your clinic.
New fee schedules can also be created using the below methods -
MBS Derived - Uses the MBS item codes and fee schedule with a fixed margin (either dollar value or percentage) on top of the MBS fee.
MBS Custom - Uses the MBS item codes, however each item is assigned a custom fee.
Third Party - Uses the item codes and fee schedule from a Third Party providers fee schedule.
Custom - A custom fee schedule with unique item codes, unrelated to either the MBS or a Third Party fee schedule
In this guide you will learn how to Create and Edit an MBS Derived Schedule, and a Custom Schedule which is unrelated to the MBS and can have custom items added to it.
