Set Up Charge Options

A positive variance or a negative variance occurs when two or more charges roll-up to a single line item on the claim with a unit value that is different from the sum of the unit values on the individual charges.

When a variance occurs, a charge is added during the billing process to either increase or decrease the number of units and the balance on the encounter. This ensures that the balance in NextGen® Enterprise PM is the same as the amount billed on the claim for the roll-up charges.
