About
Users with access to System Setup (Supplemental) in NextStep Clinical can add new Activity Codes as options to select from in the Activity Code drop-down within the Billing widget. You can also mark the codes as being associated with Authorizations and you can create multiple code Authorization options.
Add New Choice to Activity Drop-down
- Navigate to Billing Configuration in NSS Clinical by following the path above.
- Click the expand button for the Activity field row.
- Click the Add New Choice button.
- In the Dropdown Choices section, a new line is displayed.
- In the Choice Text field, enter a description. This can be anything you want it to be (the actual code and/or text) and is what will be displayed in the Activity Code drop-down in the Billing widget.
- In the Choice Value field, enter the Act ID Code from the Billing Engine: Maintenance and Setup > Activity Codes > Activity Codes. See the Example below. If this does not match an Act ID Code from the Billing Engine, when converting Services to Line Items, you will get a Bill Status error of 145.
- (Optional) Select the Send To External Billing checkbox to have the code create a Service in the Billing Engine.
Note: If you have a code that is not billable but you would like to track and have it as an option in the Activity Code drop-down (such as No Show), do not select the Send To External Billing checkbox. |
- Click the Save changes button.
