The Tariff codes system is used to identify treatment or service delivered by providers to members. It is a vital component of the whole Scheme Genius ecosystem.

The codes defined in the system are the only ones which the system will recognise and use for purposes of benefits adjudication and award.

Alphanumeric codes are used, they need not conform with other systems by other regulatory bodies, but those who submit claims must be familiar with them.

Each code has a flag (colour code – Green, Amber, Red) which is shown each time a user captures it.

Each code has a price and can optionally have a co-payment fixed.

Codes can be placed in ‘clash classes’ so that if 2 tariff codes are in the same ‘clash class’ then they cannot be on the same claim together.

A frequency class can be defined, so that frequency restriction rules can be applied to it (e.g max number of times per day, month, 6 months, 1 year, et.c).

A maximum quantity can be set.

Inpatient/Outpatient Restriction

1. Not Specific
2. In-Patient Only
3. Out-Patient Only
4. Whether pre-authorisation is required or not
5. Hospital grade restriction
6. Filtering out tariff codes without benefit allocation
7. Adding service provider disciplines which can deliver/claim for the particular tariff code’s corresponding service(s)

The system can generate bills for all member for a specific period.

The bills can be generated going back into the past.

The bill picks up and includes miscellaneous charges such as printed cards.

6. File/account number
7. Additional dependants can be added using a file upload.
8. New members can be added using a file upload
9. Date-driven membership status design: The user does not have to calculate the actual member status (active, waiting period, etc.)
10. The user only captures the events which occur to the membership according to instructions from the client and the system uses this to determine status at time of treatment.

The system uses the table above for mapping and thus determining what status the member is in at a specific date. This is also dependant on the status of the principal member.A member is changed to another plan by capturing a ‘Joined’ event to the new plan.The system automatically calculates the waiting period depending on whether late-joiner or regular-joiner.

This feature enables the system administrator to configure the custom data page of the member data file.

An unlimited number of details can be so captured under different categories.

Data field types supported are text, numeric and drop-down.

This feature enables management of the member tags. These tags distinguish the member and directs how the member is billed. The fundamental tags are:

Individual.

Student.
