CPT4 Roll Up

A CPT4 roll up combines the total charges for SIMs using the same CPT4 code into a single charge. If you enter an alternate CPT4 code for a SIM designated to perform CPT4 roll up, the application combines the charges with the alternate CPT4 code. To combine the total charges from SIMs using different CPT4 codes, each SIM included in the roll up must be mapped to the same alternate CPT4 code. You can perform line item roll-ups in the following instances: The separate line item charges are totaled. The quantity of line item charges are "rolled up" to become a single charge. CPT4 roll up is used primarily by CHC (Community Health Clinic) clients. The CPT roll up takes multiple line items that are flagged and have the same CPT code or alternate CPT code and rolls them up into a single line item and changes the quantity to one – the total sum of the charges appears on the line item.

Roll-Up Billing by CPT4 Code

Roll-Up Billing by CPT4 Code provides the ability to roll-up multiple charges on an encounter into one line item on the claim. Each line item represents a specific CPT4 code. This option is rarely used. It could be used for any payer that requires multiple services to be rolled-up to a single CPT4 code line item on the claim. Note: Best practice is to use encounter rate billing for both Medicare and Medicaid. In some cases, roll-up by CPT4 code will not meet the billing and claim requirements for a payer (e.g. FQHC/RHC Medicare). Before proceeding with the setup for roll-up billing, always consult with a NextGen Healthcare Implementation Specialist and a Claims Analyst to confirm that this is the best setup option to meet the payer's specific billing requirements. With the setup, all SIM codes on an encounter with the same Alternate CPT4 Code will roll-up to a single line item on a claim and the amount on that line item will equal the total sum of the rolled-up charges.
