Ann, you could consider using the Schedule CDS Query Checks on page 2 of the Appointment Type (or on a CDS attached to the specific appointment types). When scheduling a rehab appointment, you could set up queries that asked the appropriate questions (Is this patient Medicare? Is another MCR patient booked in this slot?) that would then allow you to trigger a warning to the scheduler, or even reject the appointment. That's not 100% automated, of course, but it would likely serve your purpose.
Same thing with the second question; on your CDS associated with the appointment type, you could remind the scheduler of the Medicare on-the-hour rule. Hope that helps, good luck!

So here's my question with a brief scenario: > When a non-Medicare patient is scheduled they can schedule another non-Medicare patient with same therapist in the same hour. Now when a Medicare patient is scheduled, the therapist can only see that one patient for the hour. Does anyone had a rule that can do something like that? Also does anyone had a rule that limits scheduling times for certain types of patients? Our rehab only schedules Medicare Patients on the hour. > > Thanks in advance for any help you can give! > > > Ann Pavlakovich > Clinical Analyst > Gila Regional Medical Center > (505)574-4959 ====================================== All messages should be posted in plain text.
