SIM Pricing Template Library

The SIM Pricing Template library is like a Service Item Library that contains only price-related information. The library is a template of service item pricing information that you define and then copy to multiple service item libraries at the same time. You should use SIM pricing templates if you have a lot of Service Item libraries that need to be updated. You can use NextGen BBP to automatically run SIM Pricing Template updates. For more information about running jobs in NextGen BBP go to NextGen Healthcare Success Community and download the latest User Guide for NextGen® Background Business Processor .

Using Advanced Service Item Library Mode

The Advanced Service Item Library Mode feature provides the ability to set pricing for tests and services based on how various payers divide the country into geographical regions. If you need to set up test pricing for your practice that is based on regions, the Advanced Service Item Library Mode is the way to accomplish this. You can set prices by configuring locations into payer centric groupings. As an example, Medicare may have different regional groupings than Aetna, and pricing is determined accordingly. In addition, the concept of SIM Pricing Templates was introduced to support the management of prices using parent/child relationships between libraries.If you do not need to set up payment based on pricing regions, do not use this parameter. Advanced Service Item Library Mode implementation in the Orders module uses File Maintenance, master files and libraries to assign a SIM code to a lab order test specimen charge. It does not allow you to assign the library at the same time be
