Insurance Grid

The Insurance grid displays any insurance attached to the case. The Pre-Cert Req column of the grid shows whether a payer attached to the case requires precertification/authorization prior to treatment. Payers that require authorization are configured in the Precert Configuration system template. For more information and instructions on configuring precertification, go to NextGen Healthcare Success Community and download the latest Configuration Guide for NextGen® Therapy Suite. If a payer is marked as “Required”, the only type of visit you will be able to submit charges on without entering a precertification authorization number is an Evaluation. All other visit types require you to enter a valid authorization or mark that payer as “Not Required” prior to submitting charges (see the Pre-cert Template chapter). Parent topic: Insurance Section
