You certainly can code the office visit in AC and have it flow straight to AMD which then sends out a clean paperless claim within minutes ( with all the great bells and whistles for tracking and reports etc.). However my office manager did not want me to code it out because I make coding errors ( not AC making errors). So, I fill out a paper charge slip and my OM checks the AC note for the visit before she enters the charges into AMD. She has billed out the days charges by the time she goes home each evening and says that is easier for her to do than submit a corrected claim because I didn't code properly. The code books exasperate me and I am not really interested in that.
