Bill with your own tariff codes
Create a code system for your tariff, add its codes with a price each, then make it the practice's procedure codes.
Where Practor has no published tariff for your discipline and region, you load your own. Your practitioners pick its codes like any other, and each invoice line starts at the price you gave the code.
Only an Admin or Owner can set this up. Choose the codes your practice uses has every field in detail.
Create the code system
- Go to Settings → Code systems, under Practice.
- Press New custom system. Once the practice has one, the button reads New system.
- Type a name, such as the tariff's own name. It's the label a practitioner sees in the code picker.
- Under Usage contexts, tick Procedures.
- Press Add.
Add its codes
To add one code:
- Open the system from the list and press Add code.
- Type the Code and the Display.
- Type the Default price in your currency, such as
450or450.50. - Press Add.
To add a whole tariff at once:
- Open the system, then press the ⋯ button beside Add code and choose Bulk import codes.
- Press Choose a CSV file and pick a file with a
codecolumn, adisplaycolumn, and apricecolumn for each code's Default price. Headers such astariff,descriptionandfeework too. - Check the rows Practor shows you, prices included, then press the button that reads Import and the number of codes.
Write each price as a plain number, such as 450 or 450.50. A row whose price isn't a number is left out, and the preview counts it as skipped before anything is saved. A file holds up to 1000 codes.
Use the codes exactly as the insurers you claim from publish them. A claim sends each line's code exactly as you typed it, and an insurer pays only codes it knows.
Make the tariff the practice's procedure codes
- On Settings → Code systems, press Add preference.
- Under Usage context, choose Procedures.
- Leave Specialty code empty, so the preference covers every practitioner.
- Under Code system, choose your tariff.
- Press Save.
Procedure code fields now search your tariff. A practitioner who set a code system for procedures on their own profile keeps theirs until they choose Use the default.
Bill a visit from the tariff
- Record the visit with its procedures picked from your tariff.
- Create the invoice from that visit, as in Create and send an invoice.
Each line starts at its code's Default price. A code with none starts at zero, and the Services step won't let it past until you give the line a price.
Claim for the tariff's codes
Send the claim from the issued invoice, the same as any other: Submit a claim to a medical insurer. The readiness checks treat your codes like published ones. Each line needs a code, its code system and a primary diagnosis.
Keep the tariff in step from your own software
A system the practice bills from can keep the tariff up to date itself, through the integration API. Give its client the Code systems permission, then it can:
- create the code system with
POST /api/v1/code-systems - add codes with a
defaultPrice, up to 1000 at a time, withPOST /api/v1/code-systems/{codeSystemId}/concepts/import - change or remove a code
The import codes page has the request in full, with the other code system requests beside it.
