The Rules tab allows customization to include or exclude modifiers, procedures and diagnoses for claim validation.   

The Diagnosis screen can be accessed from multiple locations.

  • Billing Portal > Setup Screens option on toolbar > Diagnosis

With the diagnosis code open, navigate to the Rules tab.

Code Validations

Providers - Select one of the following options: 

  • N/A (by Default)
  • Rendering and Referring must be the same
  • Rendering and Referring cannot be the same

The remaining validators can be utilized as needed by checking the associated box and entering the appropriate modifier, procedure or diagnosis.  

  • Check the box next to the Code Validation to begin setup
  • Select the blue text to the right to add the appropriate qualifier (modifier, procedure, diagnosis)
