You can create encounters that require that a supervisor is billed instead of a mid-level rendering provider. To set up this type of billing, you must do the following:
- Supervisor Billing is enabled by default for all payers, but you can disable it for payers that do not need it.
- Enable supervisor billing so that a supervisor is always required for a specific provider at the current practice.
- If necessary, enable or disable supervisor billing in the specific payer rows in the provider master file. The payer row setting overrides the practice-level setting on the Practice tab for just that provider/payer combination. The payer-level settings are available for payer rows at either the Default location (which will apply to all locations) or a specific location (which will only apply for that location).
- Make the Supervisor field available on the Encounter Maintenance window in NextGen® Enterprise PM. For more information, refer to Add the Supervisor Field on the Encounter Maintenance Window.
- Select a provider to be a supervisor.
