Shadow billing is used for physicians who are salaried instead of Fee for Service, Nurse Practitioners and Primary Care Clinics who use the Blended Funding model. 

This document denotes how to configure shadow billing for your clinic, no matter the type, as the process is the same. The only difference that may apply to your clinic is the macro itself. You will be made aware of what macro is necessary for your clinic upon implementation.

1. Download the attached jaffa file** SHADOW Macro - Shadow Billing Macro for Providers and POSs.jfa**.
2. Go to **Maintain/Template/Macros**. This opens the Macro List window.

## Additional Information

Most of the common service codes used for billing will already use the Core Service category. If this category is missing for a service code to be used for shadow billing, edit the service code to enter Core Service (CORE) in the Category field.

::Image[]{src="https://api.qa.archbee.co/api/optimize/zICxj0dnLereb6UUrBA3-/0UtEviY5Ofq3DMsyjATNk_uqc0bxntcsg9pjefpmt1relzxdagbu-wca.png" size="87" isUploading="false" initialPath="assets/Uqc0BxntCSg9pjeFpmt1rElZxDaGBu-wCA.png" githubPath="en/Financial/Claiming British Columbia/assets/Uqc0BxntCSg9pjeFpmt1rElZxDaGBu-wCA.png" position="flex-start" showCaption="false"}

In **Control Centre/Financial/Billing**, the claims for the provider whose code has been entered in the Provider macro or who works for a POS that has been entered in the POS macro will be $0, once all the required information has been entered and applied. The **Core **checkbox will be enabled and checked.
