Why This Matters
Some payers, particularly Medicaid, use the same CPT/Rev code to represent different service types. For example:
The same code may be classified as PHP (Partial Hospitalization Program) for one payer
The same code may be classified as RTC (Residential Treatment Center) for another payer
This creates setup challenges since IQ requires a single service name per CPT/Rev code combination.
How the System Currently Works
IQ groups claim service types by the service name configured for each CPT code. When you configure a CPT/Rev code in Administration → CPT Codes, that service name applies to all claims using that code, regardless of payer.
Impact on Low Payment Calculations
All claims using the same CPT/Rev code are treated as the same service type
Claims from different payers are compared against each other incorrectly
RTC payments may be compared to PHP contracts (or vice versa)
This can result in inaccurate Low Payment flags
Current Limitations
⚠️ No Current Workaround: There is no way to configure payer-specific service names for the same CPT/Rev code combination in the current system.
As a result:
The system uses whichever service name is configured in CPT Codes
All claims with that code are treated as the same service type
Cross-payer payment comparisons will be inaccurate
Low Payment detection may flag claims incorrectly
Future Enhancement
Resolving this limitation will require a feature update to support:
CPT code configuration by payer
Separate service name assignment per payer
Updated Low Payment calculation logic for payer-specific service types
💡 Tip: If you encounter this situation, document the specific payers and service types affected. This information helps prioritize future feature development requests.
