Billing: New Service Entry
After the basic patient information is updated, charges associated with new services are entered from the encounter forms. Among information entered is data regarding:
- ICD9 codes
- dates of service
- CPT codes
- co-payments made
Scans are available here and throughout the system
to help find codes for diagnoses, procedures,
referring physicians, modifiers, etc.If any codes are missing from the reference tables,
they can be added 'on the fly' as needed.On the New Service Entry screen, there are tools that can assist with filling in missing information.
- The Dx History button allows operators to view past diagnoses for the patient.
- The Patient Info button lets operators see comments and pertinent information about the patient without having to exit the billing process.
After missing information is entered, the system validates entry of the encounter form number and it is removed from the pending list.
Periodically, a report can be run that shows missing encounter forms. This is an excellent management tool which assures that all service charges get entered.
Missing encounter forms (whether lost, patient no shows or held by the physician for some reason) remain in the system until their charges are entered.
