Finally, someone agrees about the printing of the Superbill from the last window! Thanks. With easy things like that Carla, make sure you PM Vinny. That doesn't take a whole lot of code. The other stuff, probably.
OK, two workarounds. Leslie can tell you I never do workarounds, but they are my favorite. <G> Since, biller and receptionist like paper superbills and I refuse to take the steps to do it -- what we were talking about above -- I don't know much about what you and Leslie are talking about. Besides, I hate that the description of the codes (the long paragraphs explaining E & M coding) are on by DEFAULT. I don't really see the need for it. One thing I wish AC had more of were options/preferences. OK, my two ideas. Let me know if they are helpful:
1. If you wanted to have handouts not associated with the Superbill, you could make them all PDFs, then make a patient named Handouts. You could import all of them into that chart. So, at the end, you could pull up that patient, browse to imports and print out a PDF. Just an idea. Of course, if you did that, name the patient AAHandouts, so it would be at the top by default. Of course, all of these pdfs could be on your desktop, but who knows.
2. Again, you would know better than I if this idea would work. But why not do a hundred templates in Addendum with all of your instructions. Then, with or without the instructions, you could open the addendum from the person's chart and type something in like a diagnosis or whatever, then click save. It will then tell you it was saved to the chart and allow you to click OK (an added step I could do without), next it will ask you if you want to make a Superbill. You could say yes and give that as your interim Superbill. Could you?
But, if you opened the Addendum window from the patient's chart, and right-clicked and chose a template that wrote what you wanted which could be tailor made, then you could make a Superbill and print out an Educational sheet.
Please let me know. Another thing that drives me crazy is how difficult it is to set up notification on here. I still think it should be by default.
Oh, and oh yeah, welcome to AC Carla. And, you are right; it is still the fastest EMR ever.
