Billing Groups for Advanced Workflow Rules Engine (OP AWARE)

Version 20.10
Path: Billing tab > More button (Customize group) > Billing Groups 

Overview

Billing Groups are created to group together sets of CPT or Diagnosis Codes, by range or list, to support the OP AWARE functionality. The grouping of codes reduces the number of rules that need to be created to align with specific billing circumstances. 

Note:  The Audit Trail of Changes to records located in the Audit Logs window will contain log messages when a Billing Group is added or modified.

For billing group additions or edits to be active, you must close out OP entirely and log back in to see the changes.
