To edit existing progress notes or create your own custom progress notes follow the steps below.
1. Click "System Management" on the left hand menu and "Billing Code Progress Notes".
2. Fill in Billing Code information. Hint: Hover over the tooltips for more info
- Service Code: The service code field is for exporting service codes instead of billing codes for EHRs that require them (e.g., Avatar)
- Billing Time: Exact time will allow staff to enter the exact time they started and ended a session. Unit time will only allow them to select times based on the billing code unit.
- Bill With Other Codes: Bill with other codes allows two billing codes to be billed simultaneously with a client.
- Link To Other Billing Code: Will automate the billing process for two codes when the first code is billed for the first 30 minutes and the second billing code is billed for the remaining treatment hours that day.
