Adding New Supply


To add supplies to an agency click on ADMIN → SUPPLY

 

Enter the information for the new supply in the popup window.

 

The required (*) fields must be completed.

  • Description * – The name or the description of the supply that is listed.

  • Revenue Code – For Routine Supplies generally 0270 or 0272, for wound care supplies 0623.
  • Unit Cost – The cost of supply to be billed to the insurance payor

 

Supplies fit into two categories. They are classified as:

  1. Routine supplies – because they are used in small quantities for patients during the usual course of most home visits i.e. gloves and alcohol prep pads.
  2. Nonroutine supplies (NRS) – they are needed to treat a patient’s specific illness or injury in accordance with a physician’s order, i.e.wound care supplies.
