Setting Up Doctor Payments
This section explains how to set up and assign payments to doctors for performing exams, selling contact lenses, or rendering services to patients with insurance carriers.
Topics include the following:
- Setting Up Doctor Pay Rules
- Assigning Doctor Pay Rules
To set up a doctor payment, you first create a doctor pay rule. The rule determines which criteria a doctor must meet to receive a payment and the default payment for meeting the criteria. You can assign the rule to any doctor in your company, and you can assign multiple rules to each doctor.
Each set of pay rules assigned to a doctor is called a pay schedule. Since you can assign different pay rules to each doctor, each doctor can have a different pay schedule.
You can also change the dollar amount that each doctor receives for meeting the criteria of a rule. For example, one doctor may receive $25 for meeting a rule, and another doctor may receive $30 for meeting the same rule.
