The rules can also be configured to ensure that services rendered by a provider with a specific credential are billed only to a valid payer.

Non-Coordinated SIM Library

The Non-Coordinated SIM library enables you to set up billing rules for payer-specific service items. This includes service items that are only reimbursed by specific payers such as a state plan, special grant program, or Medicaid, that would not be reimbursed if billed to other payers. Example: A range of behavioral health SIM codes can be billed to Medicaid but not to any other payer. That range of SIM codes can be set up in this library with Medicaid selected as the only valid payer, therefore making the SIM codes “non-coordinated” for all other payers. The library also defines other parameters that affect how non-coordinated SIM codes are handled during charge posting and billing. These parameters include options and settings for Balance Control, auto-adjustments, and claims. A single library can be created and used by the practice. The library may include multiple detail rows, each with different parameters and requirements for a specific payer. Note: This is a practice level libr
