Default Transaction Codes

Administration > Payer > Configuration

HST Practice Management provides the ability to have payer-specific transaction codes default in Charge Entry and Payments And Adjustments to minimize data entry as well as reducing the margin for error.

For each transaction type presented, use the drop down to select an appropriate transaction code for this payer.  

The Transaction Codes available in the drop down for each Transaction Type are created and maintained by the center in Administration > Billing Transaction Code. The Transaction Type will determine which codes populate in each drop down:

Please Note: If a Billing Transaction Code was just added to the database, it may be necessary to right click on the drop down and select Refresh to view and select that code.

For centers that do not take the Contractual Write-Off at the time of charge entry but do utilize the Payer ERA import, checking the Create CW TX at time of ERA/Payment? box will ensure that the write-off is entered automatically for ERA payments.
