Add & Manage Billing Codes

Administrators manage the billing codes used to calculate and submit charges for different services. You can set up billing codes with unique names and numbers, fees per unit, types to indicate how units for each code are counted, and choose whether the codes will be billed on claims or go directly to the billing account.
