Defining the Specimen Charges Master File

If your practice does the specimen collection for a test, you can bill the insurance company for that portion of the test. For each specimen draw that you perform, you have to define the SIM code. The SIM code determines what is charged. The Specimen Charges master file lists all the specimens that can be charged for by your practice. Once you add a specimen, you can update it or hide it but you cannot delete it. The specimens listed in the master file display in the Specimen Charge list of the New Order form in the Orders module.
