When a patient is checking out, in order for the check-out module to generate charges, the progress note has to have all CPT codes documented. As the staff and physician are getting familiar with the system in the beginning, notes are not being completed by the time the patient gets to check-out.
To help expedite this process, we have designed a superbill that the physician can check off CPT codes and clinical staff can hand to the check-out staff with all the procedure codes that were used in the room. This will allow the clinical staff and physician to continue to work on the progress note and the patient to check-out in a more timely fashion.
The check-out staff receives the superbill and will compare this to what was generated on the check-out screen. If no codes are generated when the patient reaches check out then the staff could manually enter the codes within the medical charges on the check-out screen.
You can edit the medical charges section (delete, add or make changes to CPT codes) This will ONLY affect the estimated cost, not the encounter itself.
- Next to the medical charges section, you have the option to click on edit
- Once you've selected Edit, you will then click on add new procedure to add the new CPT code
Please see the attached document to download and incorporate into the visit when patients are checking out.
