Service Code Edit

CILe - Client Information Ledger

Can I change the listing of Service Codes available on the Session Note drop-down list?

Yes. There are many of the Service Codes available on that drop-down list, but not all of them, and certainly not if CILe will be used for any practice besides mental health. If you find you have need to add some or change what is there, you have total control.

Select "Service Codes" off of the Administrative menu.

Scroll to the bottom of the list, and add the new entries in the blank line at the bottom. You can also change anything in any of the other ones, as well.

The following explains some of the questions that might arise with the values in the screenshot above:

Display on Pulldown?	This checkbox drives whether this item appears on the drop-down list or not. If you want it to appear, check this box.
Sort Order	This allow you to force items to appear in the drop-down listing in a specific order. The benefit to this due to the way the drop-down lists work. If you have two items that both begin with the same letter or two, but you use one of them 90% of the time, if you put the frequent one first in the drop-down list, then when you type the first letter or two, the one you normally want will automatically be populated in the field without having to use the arrow to select from the list.
CPT Code (CMS-1500)	Put the code here that you want printed on the paper CMS-1500 form for the service.
CPT Code (Eclaim)	Put the code here that you would want posted for the electronic claim for the service. In general, it would be the same as the one for the paper HCFA 1500 form, but this capability was provided in case that is not the case for some reason. (The right-hand two columns are legacy codes from a previous use and can be ignored.)
Billing Rate	Put the dollar value you will be charging the client for this service. You have the option of having a different rate for children than you do for adults, but if this is not the case, put the same value in both boxes. When you create a session note for the client's visit, whatever value you put in these fields will automatically be populated into the "Fee" field on the session note when you select the service.
