Mass Update Fees

This utility is convenient if there is a standard increase in the office fee. For example, if all fees will be increased by a fixed percentage or dollar amount, it is more efficient to use this utility than to update code by code in the Transaction Code List.

You can round fees to the nearest cent, dime, or dollar when increasing by percent. Fees on pre-defined appointments can also be changed. Updating fees on future appointments, pending appointments, and treatment plans is optional.

If the increase in fees for codes varies, change specific fees in PracticeWorks by clicking Lists > Transaction codes. Edit each code and enter the new fee in fee schedule 1, 2, or 3. You then have the option to update pre-defined appointments, future appointments, appointments on the pending page, and fees on treatment plans.
