CX05.1 – Preference Template

About CX05.1

Use Preference Template (CX05.1) to define and inquire on preference templates. Preference templates are predefined lists of practitionerpreferences. The templates are available for assigning to patient cases. In particular, the preference templates contain sets of items, costs, and burdens, predefined for specific procedures and diagnostic codes. The templates are uniquelyidentified by company, requesting location, preference code, and practitioner ID. The costs assigned to preference templates serve as the "budgeted cost" for cost comparisons in related reports. For example, in an OLAP (OnlineAnalytical Processing) report on procedure cost comparison, the preference template costs are reported as the budgeted cost, the case cost as the "actual" cost, and the DRG cost as the reimbursed amount. In addition, you can use this form to add and inquire on attachments (comments) assigned to preference codes and items. Attachments to preference codes are meant to store the steps and other preferences specified by the practitioner for a procedure. Attachments to items are meant to store user-defined comments. Before you add preference templates, take time to define the preference codes that you will type on preference templates. In addition, you must define the applicable companies, requesting locations, practitioners, procedurecodes, diagnostic codes, item masters, and burden code data before adding preference templates. There are two types of preference templates: generic andpractitioner-specific. The generic template does not have a practitioner ID specified, and the practitioner-specific template requires a practitioner ID. You can add comments to each template. NOTE You can define an unlimited number of procedures on preference templates. However, your current external systems may not have the samecapability.
