Insurance Fee Schedule

By Laura Andersen

Datacon has the ability to use an insurance fee schedule to calculate estimated insurance portions on fees, while posting UCR fees. This is done by setting up an Indemnity insurance plan through Employers and Insurance Plans and then connecting your patient to it with a coverage update.

The plan requires the fee schedule to be set up with plan fees and the plan type set as Indemnity. Once set up and connected to the patient, all treatments entered through Diagnosis Records or Charges will estimate off the plan fees while the fee showing on the transaction will be your standard UCR fee. This modified estimate will show on the treatment plan screen as well as on your printed treatment plan documents.

If you use an “insurance and patient estimates” note on your statements or route slips, these estimates will also be figured from your plan fees, increasing or decreasing the patient portions for the difference.
