Thanks for the replies... I did talk with Sandy in the billing department and she was extremely helpful... The credit card on file only relates in that it is a bit of a reprieve in that due to old billing price vs. new billing price I will be getting the 2 licenses I need for the price of one since the price has gone up.. this is a big savings for a rural, cash only clinic.. Tom you are exactly right and that might be a good option or I could put a template at the end of each note saying "Case discussed and agree with assessment and plan-- signed Dr. XYZ"
I did explain that to her, Jon, and unfortunately did not even get a nibble! They said anyone authorized to sign chart had to have license... but like you say, barring free inferior products, you cannot touch another EMR for the price... I would venture to say that paper charts would probably cost about the same when you get down to it!
