To kick the billing module off this is the rough workflow for billing a
patient at our practice
Note B*B* - virtually all our patients are
From appointments module
click on appointment/list -> brings up patient dialog -> check
Medicare No against card -> arrive
M/C voucher printed -> goes with Pt notes
This places pt on list for billing "open" patients
When Pt is finished Dr enters items on voucher -> signed
Receptionist clicks on Pt in list of open Pts (from main reception window)
this brings up billing dialog with
transaction No (not editable)
Dr (editable) - drop down code picklist
Date (not editable)
Billing code - these are numbers for Medicare/DVA/W/C/Private etc
it might be better to have a text picklist here? -
receptionists have to learn codes
Discount (not usually applicable in our practice!)
Hospital/nonhospital checkbox
Notes (free text eg Not Normal Aftercare etc)
Item list (max 5 - these are codes error message if no item
corresponding to no entered)
The corresponding $ amount shown and total
To finish ENTER
As an error check CONFIRM button
I presume there is a way of entering the dialog directly (ie pt without
appointment)
I would post this on the Wiki but I have forgotten my Login :)
