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 .

SIM Library Configurations

SIM library configurations link SIM Pricing Templates to SIM Libraries. You can use the configurations to update SIM Libraries. The configuration settings contain the rules for transferring the pricing information to the SIM libraries. They tell the system: which Service Item Libraries to affect and by what percentage. which fields to update. For example, a parent SIM Pricing Template library is set up specifically for Unassigned Benefit Prices. The settings would be configured to only update the price for the Unassigned Benefit Price in the child SIM library. how to perform the updates: Update the existing row in the SIM. Add a new row in the SIM and expire the old row. Apply other configurable settings that are based on utilities in NextGen® Enterprise PM.

Advanced Service Item Library Mode

When you need to maintain pricing for several locations that are grouped into different regions, the Enable Advanced Service Item Library Mode allows you to set pricing based on how various payers divide the country into geographical regions. For example, Medicare has different regional groupings than Aetna, and pricing would be determined accordingly. With Enable Advanced Service Item Library Mode, you can also use SIM Pricing Templates to manage prices in the Service Item libraries.
