Negotiated Pay Rates Window

Resource>General>Negotiated Pay Rates

With the Negotiated Pay Rates window, the application can store special pay rates that apply to certain resources for certain services.

You can enter the service code, pay rate, overtime rate, holiday rate, weekend rate, and effective date and select individual patient if needed.

The Amount fields are encrypted. If you change or delete existing data, the following warning message appears: "A change was made to the Pay Rates. After all the rates are updated, please run the Recalculate Pay Cost function to process current services."

Any specific negotiated rates entered in the Negotiated Pay Rates window will override rates defined in the Pay Rates Calculator>Settings>Pay Rates level for the resource and service code selected.

There are two different views of the Negotiated Pay Rates window depending on whether your agency is using the Pay Rates Calculator or Private Duty functionality. Depending on this setting, refer to one of the following sections for further negotiated pay rates setup:

Negotiated Pay Rates (Private Duty)

Negotiated Pay Rates (Private Duty)

Depending on the Allow Patient Level Resource Negotiated Pay Rates setting (Administration>Configuration>Business Units>Settings>Financial), the Negotiated Pay Rates window can contain additional fields.

When the Allow Patient Level Resource Negotiated Pay Rates option is active, you will be able to select an individual patient for whom the resource will be paid a specific amount. Also, you will be able to select all service codes when entering a negotiated pay rate.
