Stefan,
Thanks for that explanation. The way that the MU Wizard does those calculations has always been a mystery. If those are the only measures still effected by an encounter sign-off, then working around the issue is easier than it use to be, especially with that information.
Neurodawg,
Another option that might work is to set-up a sham provider. Call them "Dr Procedure" and create a schedule. Any procedures could be documented as an encounter the way that you have been doing, but signed off by that doctor. The old visits will show up in the patient history. Dr Procedure will not qualify for MU, but he won't hurt your numbers!
