The RHC and FQHC set up allows split billing (X-rays & Labs on 837P and all other services on 837I) by CPT® code, and single Encounter claims that roll up to a specific CPT® code (example: T1015 or T1040). You have the ability to send both claims to the same Payer by using a cross code to change the CFI (Medicare Part A and Medicare Part B).
Ask your Implementation Manager or Support to add the Internal Settings for RHC Billing.

Split Encounters
Splitting Encounters allows you to separate specified Procedure lines from one Encounter to a new Encounter.
- This feature is available when entering or modifying a Charge and from the Encounter Dashboard.
- This is very useful for a split of UB/Institutional Procedures and Professional Procedures (ANSI/HCFA), Rural Healthcare (RHC), or Durable Medical Equipment (DME).
