Editing fee schedules

You can assign up to 999 fees for each procedure. With 999 fee schedules available, you have the flexibility to pre-set alternative fees for certain patients such as family members, special insurance holders, senior citizens, and so forth.

·        When you enter a procedure in the Ledger or the Patient Chart, the charge is assigned according to the selected provider’s fee schedule. You can also override the provider’s fee schedule by assigning a patient or insurance carrier a fee schedule.

·        We recommend that you add the practice’s usual and customary fees to Fee Schedule #1. No fees are pre-assigned in Dentrix.
