MEDICOLEGAL PROVIDER/MLP RATES

MLP Rates are used to help distribute payments between the medicolegal provider and specialist for a service in accordance with the specialist’s contract.

You can add as many MLP Rates as required.

After a MLP Rate is added, depending on the Effective From-To range, rates are populated into the Invoice’s Provider Payment section and calculates the amount that is to be paid to the Specialist.
