The Behavioral health billing section enables a provider to document time-based charges in the NextGen® Enterprise application. Once configured, when the user selects the Service performed by check box in the Behavioral health billing section, a stored procedure fills the mapped Behavioral Health service in the Service code and Service description fields. Service codes are configured on the Service Code Mapping system template. Practices can review and copy the code mappings packaged in this release. The system template looks at elements such as payer, visit type, licensure of the provider and others to generate a short list of billing codes or a single code to be used.
