For Canada, procedures that use scaling units can have a time unit value can be entered. All procedure codes default to 1 time unit unless specified as different in their description, but you can also add or edit as needed. You can also view an insurance plan's total, used, and remaining time units by benefit category in the Treatment Plan Module or Billing Module.

For time units to be calculated correctly, the following needs to occur:

• The procedure has to have a time unit value (not 0).
• The insurance plan has to have a benefit for the category that meets the following criteria (see Edit Benefits - Row View).
  • Category: Something other than none
  • Type: Limitations
  • TimePeriod: Calendar Year or Service Year
  • Quantity: Greater than 0 (this should match the time unit values covered by the plan)
  • Qualifier: Number of Services
  • Coverage Level: Individual or Family

Enter time units for procedures on the Procedure Code (Lists, Procedure Codes).

View an insurance plan's total, used, and remaining time units by benefit category in the Treatment Plan or Billing Module.

In the Treatment Plan module, click Ins Rem above the remaining insurance information.

In the Billing Module, click the Ins Rem box in the Aging area.

A new window will open showing the total, used, and remaining time units for each procedure code category that has a benefit.
