Post Charges and Checkout Patients, Part I

Partner gives you complete control of under which provider or providers charges will be billed. Do you need a visit with provider A to be billed with provider B as the supervising physician? You can use the Charge Posting (checkout) program to set the provider or assign an additional supervising provider, and you can also change the billing provider in the Correct Mistakes (oops) program.

The Daily Check program (dailycheck) lists all the visits posted on a single day or range of days. The report includes every diagnosis, procedure, amount charged and payment posted. Use dailycheck to review a day's postings and compare them against the encounter forms. Many office managers run dailycheck every evening or early the following morning.

Use Partner's checkout program, also called chuck, to post charges and check out a patient in seconds.
