Assistant Service Items Setup

Before you begin

You must specify which Service Items qualify as 'Assistant Items' for the purposes of billing. Once enabled, if you add these items to an invoice, the associated percentage fee will be calculated automatically for you. If a Health Fund Assistant Percentage differs from the usual 20%, you are required to amend the percentage amount to include the additional percentage in each Health Fund Fee List.

Example: Original default percentage 20% + HCF quoted additional 1.407% = 21.407%. Therefore you would enter 21.407 into the % field and it will automatically round up or down appropriately (21.40).

Procedure

From the Bluechip main window select Lists > Service Items. The Service Item List window appears.
Select the Medicare/Health Fund you want to modify fees for, and click

The Service Items window appears.
In the Filter by Item field, enter the Assistant Service Item you want to modify. Some examples are shown in the image above.
For each item you want to associate with assistant billing, tick the Assistant Item check box, and enter the require percentage in the % field.
To save changes click back onto the item number within the list.
