Fee For Service (FFS) practitioners that are eligible for the Business Cost Premium (BCP) billing requires that service codes submitted have their facility number populate. Each time these codes are billed, the facility number must be added to the invoice to get the BCP adjustment.
Longitudinal Family Practice (LFP) practitioners billing requires that all service codes submitted have their facility number populate.
For more information or questions related to BCP/Facility including eligibility, Facility numbers please visit the Doctors of BC Website
If a non-eligible physician or a physician not properly attached to a facility number attempts to bill a fee code with the facility number added to OSCAR, the invoice will be rejected by Teleplan.
OSCAR Implementation Overview
OSCAR, by default, is setup to allow you to enter the facility number you have been provided and all fee codes that are eligible will automatically have the facility number appended to invoices with those fee codes.
OSCAR, by default, will apply this to all providers that create invoices. This behavior can be modified to create a list of providers that you want the facility number to automatically populate (whitelist), OR, create a list of providers that you do not want the facility number to automatically populate (blacklist).
In the case of multiple clinics using one OSCAR, separate lists will exist for each clinic, allowing full customization, however, each clinic will need to specify which providers are part of that clinic so that the appropriate facility number is attached to their billings.
In the case of a provider billing out of two or more locations, they will need to have additional billing accounts created, specifically for the other site(s). If you require additional provider accounts created, please reach out to the OSCAR Pro Help Desk for assistance.

Inside OSCAR
NOTE: Please read this entire guide before setting your Facility number in OSCAR. If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to support.
Enter your facility number
Enter your facility number into the default clinic setup in OSCAR by going to Administration – MSP Facility Mapping and clicking Edit next to the Default clinic.
Enter your Facility number into the Facility Number field and click Save.
By default, your provider list is set to a ‘black list’, If all providers are participating, please leave this list as is. This will populate for all users.
Setup the eligible providers
If not all of your physicians are eligible for BCP/LFP, you must tell OSCAR which providers are eligible (whitelist) or which providers are not eligible (blacklist). Best practice would be that you set the list that has the lesser amount. Eg. You have 6 Providers and all but one are eligible, set the Black List for that 1 provider.
This list of providers is accessible under Administration – Billing - MSP Facility Mapping – Provider List.
You can toggle between the type of list by clicking on the List Type toggle.
To add a provider to either list, select the Default clinic and the provider you wish to add to the list.
Black List
By default, your provider list is set to a ‘black list’. A black list is a list of providers that are not eligible for BCP and should not be using the facility number in their billings. All other providers not on this list in OSCAR will have the Facility number automatically populate on applicable billings.
In the following example, the listed provider (Doctor, Test) will not have the Facility number applied automatically, however, all other providers in OSCAR will have the Facility number applied automatically to applicable billings.
NOTE: If you have setup your MSP Facility Mapping Provider List to a black list, you can skip the section about ‘White List’.
WhiteList
A whitelist is a list of providers that are eligible and want to have the Facility number automatically populated on applicable invoices.
In the following example, only the listed provider (Doctor, Test) will have the Facility number applied automatically to all applicable billings because the list is set as a WhiteList.
To confirm that you have set this correctly, you can create a test invoice. Once you select Continue on the invoice the following screen will display (or not). You can cancel the invoice once you have confirmed the desired display.
