Barbara,
We have this same exact issue as you do.  For billing and coding, the monthly discharge would be wonderful.  However, for documentation and continuum of care, it's terrible.  Tough road for us too.

Subject: [MEDITECH-L] Discharging recurring outpatient accounts

I am looking for some best practice information about handling recurring outpatients. The Finance Dept. is interested in discharging accounts monthly to produce concise bills that are easily interpreted by patients and provides cleaner reporting for the departments. The clinical side is concerned about the continuity of documentation for patients whose care exceeds the span of a month, possibly months or years.This documentation is of special concern in Nursing and Pharmacy.
Does anyone have a way they handle similar situations that meets the needs of both sides? Thanks for your input.
