Credentials, once created, can be added to individual staff profiles on their License/Certifications page.
Professional Credentials are recommended to be utilized in all accounts by creating, assigning to staff, and attaching to Services/Codes on the Funder page according to who each funder allows as a provider of the particular services/codes. *See question on each service/code screen: “Do you want to restrict which staff can provide this service or bill multiple rates for this service?” Best practice is to select ‘yes’.
Staff Member Pay Codes: Add, Remove, or Edit *Required set up piece for scheduling.
At least one pay code must be created and assigned to all staff in order to schedule appointments.
Individual staff may have more than one pay code and each could be a different rate of pay, such as a direct or billable rate of pay and an Admin or training rate of pay.
Pay Codes may be based on the payroll program you use and/or the manner in which you want to track and pay staff.
If wanting to track/pay mileage, but not travel time, please use a Non-payable (N/A) pay code and set up a mileage rate.
If wanting to track/pay travel time but not mileage, use a pay code but do not enter a mileage rate.
If wanting to track/pay both travel time and mileage, use a pay code and enter a mileage rate.
Staff Member Mileage *In order to track a per mile rate for staff Travel appointments.
Funders
Funder set up is a required practice management feature.
Funders will need added according to your company’s contract’s with funder and fee schedules.
Please review how to add a new funder→ Adding Funders to the Company Account
Combine rules & scheduling rules on the funder set up should be reviewed and set accordingly for each funder.
Service Lines will need added to each Funder.
After adding Service Lines, Billing codes should be entered and attached to the appropriate Service name. Unit size, rounding rules and credentials should be added per your Funder contracts/rules.
Roles and Permissions
Add and Edit permissions for all roles Verify permissions based on your Practice Management needs.
Scheduling
Cancellation Types
Any appointment that needs marked as cancelled would require a choice first of ‘family cancelled’ or ‘staff cancelled’. After making that choice, additional ‘cancellation types’ would display as options (if created here on your Company Account>Scheduling page)
Recommendations for creating cancellation types relevant to timeframe of cancellation (less than 24 hours notice, no show, advance notice) or reason for cancellation (illness, weather, etc.)
Once cancellation types are created, a selection of one is required when cancelling an appointment.
Billable Tags
Billable tags are optional, and even if created, are not a required selection on appointments.
Billable tags are for reporting purposes related to your company’s needs.
Suggestions include: ‘RBT supervision’, ‘Initial Assessment’, 'Re-Assessment’, etc..
Nonbillable Tags
Nonbillable tags are required for scheduling any Nonbillable appointments.
Suggestions include: ‘Nonbillable Supervision’, ‘Training’, ‘PTO’, ‘Meeting’, ‘Material Prep'
Default Place of Service-Two-digit Place of Service Codes are required for all insurance billing
If all services are provided/billed under the same Place of Service Code (such as ‘12-Home’) then you can make the selection here to default it to that one Place of Service for all appointments.
Requirements for Billable Appoints to show as ‘Complete’
Staff verification is required on all appointments. *This cannot be removed as a requirement.
Option to add a requirement on Billable appointments for ‘Parent Verification’ and/or ‘Session Note Entered’. **Recommendation to require at minimum of a Session Note, but specific requirements of your funders or regions should be verified.
Any appointment missing the required fields will not pull to Payroll Reports or Billing Exports unless specifically selected to include ‘incompletes’ (This is not recommended as best practice)
Hours Shown on Calendar
Select hours that will default the view of the calendar across all users.
This does not prevent scheduling outside of these hours.
Overtime Rules
If you wish to enable the calculations for overtime, this can be enabled on this screen. *Note that ‘eligible for overtime calculations’ is a specific check box on each staff’s Payroll page of their profile, and must be check to activate these calculations.
Select Workweek used for calculating overtime (Example: Monday through Sunday)
Set the multiplier (Example: 1.5 x Regular Pay)
Set the hours after which overtime calculations would apply
Secondary calculation can also be set , if needed.
