base codes and base modifiers to allow for multiple rates
Give us the ability to have set a base of codes and a set base of modifiers (both of these would not be attached to each other). So it would be more like a drop down system. We first select the code from a drop down. Then once we have that if a modifier(s) is needed, then we have separate dropdowns for modifiers. This would then allow for the multiple modifier combinations insurances use, but NOT require thousands of the same codes set up in the system. So basically have a CPT code module and a modifier module and WE select the combination that we need at time entry from these drop downs.
Then when we are in the payer, we could also choose the base code and then set the rate. Then say the next line I could chose that base code again and then any modifiers I want/need and the rate associated with that modifier combination and keep going with any of the modifier combinations/rates I need for that code/payer.
