Non-Standard Fees

This article explains how to set up and bill non-standard fees to ACC in Bp Omni. A non-standard fee is an item that is billable to ACC but is not included in the standard ACC fee schedule. The Item number or charge code is often provided by ACC.

A non-standard fee for the full cost of treatment (FCT) can be created for ACC accredited employers or private insurers that agree to cover the patient subsidy portion of the invoice, as well as the subsidised ACC item.

IMPORTANT  For some ACC item numbers, a co-payment can be charged to the patient in addition to the ACC subsidy, while other items must not include a co-payment charge. It is the responsibility of the practice to be aware of which item numbers can or cannot have an additional co-payment.

Billing Non-standard fees

A non-standard fee can be added to an invoice when billing or set as a default fee for an appointment type. If the fee has been marked as Editable, the Fee ($) amount can be updated from the invoice.

Billing non standard fees

Non-standard fees are ACC subsidised and will appear on the invoice with a green subsidy badge. If the invoice does not contain any items to be invoiced to the patient, only one invoice will be created for the subsidiser.

See ACC Billing for more information on creating invoices without a patient billed subsidy.
