A couple 'invoice' questions:
We are a multiple provider clinic.
1) Is there a way to print an invoice before signing off on the note? Often it is not possible to complete the note before the patient leaves; and if an invoice is needed, we are stuck.
2) Currently we are trying to figure the best flow for our billing. We have a 'chargemaster' (charge slip/order form) that follows the patient during the visit and is used to record, lab, supplies, xrays, etc by the ancillary staff. Providers then use AC to code the CPT/ICD codes and print an invoice.
The invoice and 'chargemaster' then go to our billing department for them to enter into medisoft. It's all a bit cumbersome. Does anyone have a simpler way?
