Service Code Mapping

The Service Code Mapping system template provides a custom solution where each Behavioral Health practice can map service codes to several parameters. Once these parameters are configured, a stored procedure is used in run time to assist the user in the process of determining the appropriate service code based on the information documented in the current encounter. The following parameters can be mapped to a service code: Practice Payer Visit type Licensure Provider Level Require E&M code Require additional code Time-based NextGen® Adaptive Content Engine is packaged with a default set of service code mappings. You can use these mappings or chose to create your own custom mappings for each practice.

Service Code Mapping

The Service Code Mapping system template is used in conjunction with a stored procedure to calculate a service code based on practice, payer, visit type, licensure, and whether the charge is time-based. An alert is prompted if an E&M code or an additional code is required based on the code configuration completed on the Service Code Mapping template. The system template includes default code mapping and the ability to copy the default code mapping packaged with the latest version of NextGen® Adaptive Content Engine used at the practice. The template also enables users to copy configurations from one practice to another. You can create a client-specific default that can be used as a starting point for other practices without modifying the default data packaged with NextGen® Adaptive Content Engine. Figure 1. .
