A Fee Group in the Choice platform is a fee different than the 'base' code. This can be separated by Provider, Service Location, Financial Class, Payer, or a combination of these options. The most common use of Fee Groups in Choice is to set up different fees for Self Pay patients, or to add Allowable Amounts for specific payers. Once a Fee Group is added, the application will automatically use this fee on the claim for any patient who meets the selected criteria.
