Customise Fee Schedules (Override Schedules)

Create custom fee schedules (or Override Schedules), if you want to charge different fees per-state, per-practice, or even per-user.

About this task

Each customised fee schedule you create is based on another, 'parent' schedule. For example, you could create a fee schedule for all your practices in NSW, and base this schedule on the default schedule you use for non-Bulk Bill / DVA fees. This new schedule for NSW could have its own child schedules - one for each practice you have in NSW.

In the following example, we will create a schedule for our NSW practices. It will be based on our default fee schedule. We will then create a second fee schedule, which is a subset (a child of) the NSW schedule.
