Vincent, thanks for your response. I have always dictated my note and then filled out the paper superbill which eventually was entered electronically. The copay is left to the front desk to collect upon check-in and is independent of the superbill that I create. However, I could always make changes to the bill before it was submitted. My main concern is that I am considering collecting not only my patients' co-payments but their co-insurance as well before they leave. Given AC's current setup, I would have to complete my note before they walk out the door in order for me to complete the coding within AC. Alternatively, I could hand them a paper bill to take to checkout, but then I'll still have to enter it into AC - a duplication.
I simply prefer the flexibility, especially temporally, that I have had in my practice using paper superbills, and I'd like to keep that with an EMR.
Again, I appreciate your response. I would have answered sooner but I haven't visited this forum for a few days.
