Set Up Concurrency Rules for Anesthesia Billing

The Concurrency Rules tab on the Anesthesia Library Payer Maintenance window enables you to define parameters related to concurrency audit rules, charge split percentages, unit price, contractual adjustments, rounding method, and minutes per unit. For both split and non-split charges, the total charge amount is determined by multiplying the unit price by the total anesthesia units. Base Units + Time Units + Modifier Units = Total Anesthesia Units Total Anesthesia Units x Unit Price = Total Charge Amount For split charges, the extended price is split across the two resulting charge lines based on the percentages in the Medical Director and CRNA. After the charges are split, units are only used for reporting purposes. Note: The total charge calculation is the same for split billing and non-split billing. In File Maintenance, select Libraries, and then select Anesthesia. The Anesthesia Library Payer Maintenance window opens. Select Concurrency Rules. Enter the Concurrency Rules parameters
