Set referral override type when invoicing.

You can set one of the Referral Override Type values for specialist services when there is no valid referral available for the billing patient, or an available referral is not applicable for billing service items or during an Emergency.

The Select Referral window appears when you attempt to issue an invoice for a patient. Selection of any of the following values in the Select Referral window will automatically set the referral override type code for that invoice/voucher for online claim submission.

Medicare recognizes the following accepted referral Override type codes:

  • Lost
  • Emergency
  • Hospital
  • No Referral
  • Remote Exemption (for DVA patients only)
