Bert,
Codifying the insurances is not too difficult (of course it was my staff doing this, so that's easy for me to say).
The surprise we experienced is that if you do NOT codify, then if you print the demos the insurance information does not show up on the print out. I don't know if this is important to your work flow for billing or not. It was for us, so we codified. It is an ongoing process as you can take care of many patients with one set of clicks (Medicaid, Medicare) but others will be done as you go along.
