Linked Contract Setup
The Contract Search results include both Linked and Internal Contracts. Linked Contracts are Office-specific and contain a three-digit Office Code following the Office Name.
For example:
-
If Payer Sandy Health System is linked to Agency Northeast Homecare’s Office Long Island City (LIC), then the Linked Contract name is Sandy Health System (LIC).
-
If Payer Sandy Health System is linked to Agency Northeast Homecare’s Office Long Island City (LIC), AND Boris’s Office (BOR), then there are two Linked Contracts for Sandy Health System, Sandy Health System (LIC) and Sandy Health System (BOR).
The layout of Linked Contracts is identical to Internal Contracts to include the seven tabs allowing Agencies to define billing rates, scheduling and confirmation requirements, among other specifications. Unlike Internal Contracts, Linked Contracts are primarily managed by Payers and therefore not all options are available across the tabs. Unavailable fields are locked (greyed out) for Linked Contracts, indicating that only the Payer can enter or edit these fields.
