SIMs Groups in the Orders Tests Master File

When multiple procedures are performed for particular types of encounter or appointments, you can set up one Service Item Group (SIM Group) code that includes all the SIM codes and descriptions for all of the procedures. SIM Groups enable you to enter one code during charge posting for multiple procedures and their associated charges. You can then be more efficient and error-free as you enter charges for multiple procedures that are typically performed together. For example, if your practice frequently does childhood immunizations, you could set up a SIM Group called "CHIMM", which would include all the CPT4® codes and descriptions for each immunization for the office encounter.
