Department Fee Schedules

athenaCollector

This page allows you to assign different fee schedules for different departments of your athenaEnterprise organization.

  • A given payer can have only one fee schedule and one allowable schedule for a given date range per service department.
  • A given payer must have one fee schedule and one allowable schedule in effect at all times in every service department.

The initial view of this page provides three menus: Provider Groups, Departments, and Fee Schedules. You can use these menus to create a limited grid of service departments and fee schedules. The grid you create allows you to specify which fee/allowable schedules correspond to which service departments.

 

You can hover over the department column heading to reveal the full name of the department.

 

The valid service departments are listed vertically on the left side of the table. (A valid service department must have the Service Department set to "Y" on the Departments page.)

 

The fee schedules and allowable schedules are displayed across the top of the table. A check indicates that the fee schedule or allowable schedule is used in the given department. Refer to the Fee Schedules page to administer fee and allowable schedules.

 

Note: Use extreme caution. Avoid assigning two fee or allowable schedules to the same department for a given payer, unless the schedules have different date ranges. The system does not prevent this automatically. If your practice has the Department Fee Schedules feature enabled, every department must be associated with at least one valid fee schedule.
