Billing in a Behavioral Health Encounter

The NextGen® Behavioral Health Suite template set includes two areas that enable a provider to submit services codes to the Superbill. Which area you bill from is determined by the template used in your workflow. The two areas for NextGen® Behavioral Health Suite billing are:

• The Charges panel, available 3.5 (or later) version templates
• The Finalize template

Once the charges are calculated and submitted to the Superbill, the NextGen® Enterprise PM receives the charges for the services with a Start and End Time, a CPT® or HCPCS service code, a diagnosis code, as well as the date of service and the name of the provider of service. NextGen® Enterprise PM requires this data to be able to evaluate whether the total of the duration times may be "rolled up." Users can view the submitted items and make any necessary updates.
