Introduction
Clinics, which don't bill insurance and have laboratory and dispensary services under one roof, will find this module helpful to enter charges and collect fees from one central location. It becomes superfluous to access the Fee Sheet, Billing Module or the Billing View of Past Encounters and Documents.
Setup
Codes
Service and diagnosis codes need to be added to Administration/Services in 4.1.1 or Administration/Codes. Remember to include the fees to the service codes. For the purpose of illustration, CPT codes will be used for services and ICD-9 codes for diagnoses. Code Types will tell you how to import the codes into your local machine.
Demographics and Encounters
Patient demographic information is entered in the usual fashion. An encounter is necessary for the Charges Panel to function. The encounter is generated as usual.
Activation
The Charges Panel will be activated by going to Administration/Globals/Appearance, checking Use Charges Panel and clicking Save. Choose a patient, an encounter, then go to Fees/Charges.
Structure
The Panel is a triptych; wherein the left side panel contains Coding and Prescriptions; the central panel is the "Activity" panel and the right side panel is the Billing panel. From this triptych, charges can be entered, drugs can be dispensed, fees collected and receipts generated without leaving the Module. Bijou, n'est pas?
Sample Patient Flow
The best way to demonstrate the features of this nifty Module is follow a fictitious patient as he circulates through the equally non-existent Sanitas Clinic in Pangea.
Registration
Mr. Wilberforce Nemo is a new patient to Sanitas Clinic. He arrives at Reception and gives the nice young lady all the pertinent information. A new account and new encounter are created for him. He pays the 10 dinar as registration fee and is told that at the end of his visit, a receipt will be issued to him. He is asked to proceed to the Consultancy.
Consultancy
At the Consultancy, Mr. Nemo is asked by staff the reason of his visit. Mr. Nemo said that he has had Polyuria and Polydipsia for the past 3 months with weight loss.
