Allowing Default SIM Library Use During Charge Entry

When Advanced Service Item Mode is enabled, it restricts the service items to only active SIMs within the library derived during charge entry. If the application does not find an active SIM in the resulting library, the application stops the charge entry process. You can change the settings to allow a search of the practice default SIM Library, if an active SIM is not found in an initial search of the derived library. The application will allow users to continue the charge entry process. You can also create an alert message that displays when a SIM is not found in the derived Service Items library. The message displays in NextGen® Enterprise PM during charge entry, NextGen® Enterprise EHR procedures module, NextGen® Enterprise EHR templates that use a procedure trigger, and NextGen® Adaptive Content Engine templates that use a NextGen® Enterprise procedure trigger. Note: The alert is not be viewable in the NextGen® Enterprise Orders Module. Parent topic: Libraries Tab - Enterprise Pref

Preventing Use of Default SIM Library to Determine Charges

When your practice uses Advanced Service Item Library Mode, you will require an effective location to be selected in the pricing regions before the application can determine which Service Items library to use. When Default Pricing Region Library for Self Pay and Default Pricing Region Library are defined in the Enterprise Preferences, but no effective location exists, then when a user enters a procedure, the Service Item library selected in the Libraries Practice Preferences is used, by default. You can prevent the practice-level Service Item library from being used by selecting Require Effective Location in Pricing Region check box in the Enterprise Preferences Libraries tab. Requiring an effective location provides more control over which payer a user can attach to a charge or procedure. For example, users will be unable to select a payer that is not affiliated with a location. When a user enters a procedure, a message displays that a location is not selected in the pricing region.
