The Plan Maintenance - ASA Overrides tab maintains information about ASA Overrides for a plan. This feature allows the user to override ASA base unit and to set time and minute maximums by ASA Code and plan. These overrides may vary by billed and allowed and as a result, this tab contains a tabbed dialog for Billed and Allowed. Since the information for billed and allowed fees and rates is the same, it is only documented one time and not repeated.

Min Fee

|
Max Fee
