Services
Services is the clinic’s working price list: what you offer, what you charge, and which billing code belongs on the invoice. It connects the clinical visit to Billing without asking somebody to remember every price.
Procedures support the clinical work: the name, category, expected time and the workflow around preparing for and completing care. Services support the business record: the clinic’s price, default units and the CPT or HCPCS code the biller has reviewed.
They can be linked, but LogBlues keeps the internal Procedure ID separate from the billing code. A label that helps your staff run a visit is not silently treated as a claim code.
New clinics receive editable market starting estimates based on published self-pay examples. Every seeded amount is marked as a placeholder until an Owner or Admin reviews it. Your location, payer contracts, staffing, supplies and overhead decide the real clinic price.
We do not call these “standard U.S. prices.” There is no single national commercial fee schedule. Medicare amounts vary by code and locality, and a clinic’s cash price is its own decision. LogBlues gives you somewhere sensible to start and makes the review status visible.
Changing a Service updates what will be selected next time. Existing invoices keep their original line items. Retiring a Service removes it from new charges without erasing it from the clinic’s history.
