Release 7.9.0

Apply Activity Code Min/Max Times to Clinical Billing Data box


*Clinical portion is dependent upon Clinical 11.10.0 Release

Clinical > Main Menu > Admin Tools > System Setup (Supplemental) > Billing Configuration


NextStep has a new setup option that, when enabled, applies the rules in the Minimum Time to Bill and Maximum Time to Bill fields in the Master Activity Code Form in Billing, which will now carry over to the Clinical Billing Data box. Applying these rules to the Billing Data box will not allow the user to finalize a note/form without meeting the time criteria set up in Billing. 

Your agency must have NextStep Billing to use this feature.
