Neurodawg,
We also do several in office tests that other physicians refer here for and stopped creating encounters but just dictate the test results as an addendum. However, in order to know if a patient has ever been here we have to open the patient chart and go to the past encounters tab to see if there are any reports. It is a couple extra clicks but seemed the best way for meaningful use for those test patients to not count against us.
This is exactly what we've been doing. I was just hoping there was a better way.
