Raising fees

[drtmz]

This is the time of year I like to raise our fees.

What I do is goto Reports, Procedure Codes and generate a current Standard fee schedule.
I export this to Excel and then block and raise the fees say 3%. This is my guide. If I like the numbers generated here I then do the same with a new fee schedule in OD.
But, and here is my question, in the past I have been just overwriting the Standard fee schedule with the new one.

Should I just create a new Standard fee schedule named Standard 2010-11 and then hide the old one? This would serve as a constant reminder as to when the last time the fees were raised.

What are other offices doing in this case?

Thanks

That's a good idea, but how to do you tell everything that is using the old fee schedule to use your new fee schedule?

That's a good question. But I think the visible name doesn't matter.
The computer uses '0s' and '1s' to internally identify the fee schedules not the letters. This internal numbering and file associations never change.

Right?
