You can override the provider/practice-level setting with a payer-level setting or, if Supervisor Billing is not enabled at the provider/practice level, you can enable it for only specific payers. Supervisor Billing becomes enabled for only the provider/practice/payer combination.
- On the Practice tab of the Provider master file, select the drop-down menu in the Service Location field, and then select the appropriate location.
- In the Group Information list, double-click on the Default line for all payers or create a new payer.
The Add/Modify Practice Payer window opens.
- Enable either the Enable Supervisor Billing or the Disable Supervisor Billing check box, and then select OK.
Note:
- Either the Enable Supervisor Billing or the Disable Supervisor Billing check box displays. The one that displays is the opposite of the practice-level setting. For example, if the practice-level Enable Supervisor Billing check box is not enabled, then the payer row only displays Enable Supervisor Billing. Selecting this option on the payer row will turn on supervisor billing for only that provider/practice/payer combination.
- If you disable it for the payer, the claims go out to the mid-level provider instead of the supervisor.
