Patricia,
We are a rather heterogeneous group, one e-clinical, 2 still paper charts, and the rest AC or transitioning to AC. Some circle the codes on the paper super bill, some do as I do.
Hopefully to streamline things for the office we can come up with a fairly homogenous system as time goes.
The billers like the AC generated superbills, easy to read and systematically the same with each AC provider.
I prefer to input as much of the data myself since my livelihood depends on it.
I am still a bit old school and prefer a paper record to have on hand if we ever get audited. But not averse to transitioning to PDF the AC generated superbills to the billers, in a folder that can be saved.
However, I do not quite understand how my system is a time waster. No matter what system you choose will you not have to input your data at or near the time of service whether using paper or PDF to send to your biller?
What I find extremely liberating is the ease of generating a superbill in AC done at each encounter. Whether it is printed to paper or a PDF is really a moot point in my opinion, other than having the billers start inputting data/scrubbing the bill for errors immediately instead of a day later.
