Do you wall want to store your charts in one database ? It becomes muddy when you do this - I assume if you are using Lytec and "having common overhead" that you all bill under one tax id. That being said if you do that then I assume you share patients - cover for each other, etc. If you do not bill under one tax ID I would recommend thinking about if you all want one database as that muddies the water when it comes to who owns what chart, etc.
I do not use xlink as I saw it very costly when I could just double enter data - use paper superbill anyway and my billing person is responsible to make sure billing data is entered correctly so billing is done right. It sounds like you can export pt. data to populate AC the first time so that the patients are all in AC, then enter both places in the future.
