Set Up Claim Options

The Claim Options tab is used to configure specific parameters that affect claims for Behavioral Health charges. Options to always send unit count as 1 on claim charge lines, and to always send one line item per claim are available. On secondary and tertiary claims, charges can bill as the total sum of the roll-up charges, or as the total sum minus transactions posted from the prior payer. Also, secondary and tertiary claims can be billed as a primary claim depending on the prior payer.
