Fee and RVU Schedules  

Fee and RVU Schedules are now being stored in the Fee/RVU Management module (formerly Allowed Fee Schedules). The Charge Fee Schedule and Allowed Fee Schedule buttons no longer exist. This area will serve as a hub for all Fee and Relative Value Unit (RVU) Schedules: Allowed Fees, Charge Fees, Work RVUs, and Facility RVUs.

• Easily manage your own Fee Schedules/RVUs.

• New Filters have been added to control the visibility of specific Fee/RVU schedules to display only relevant data in the table view.

• Additional columns have been added to the Table to give more visibility to Types, Source, Expiration, Self Pay, and Default.
