Hi,

I am a new VPMS user and am just trying to figure a couple of things
out! Sorry in advance...software is not my strong point.

With regards to patients that are 'in hospital' for several days at a
time...what is the best protocol for invoicing?

1. Should we add a new invoice for each day?

2. Should we 'finalise' each invoice at the end of each day or leave it
'in progress' until we are ready to discharge the patient? (and...if we
finalise an invoice we can't adjust it later, can we?)

3. If we have added a new invoice for each day, then how do we print the
invoice history to show the client when they come in to pay the bill?
Ie. for example - Rx works: you can print a selected invoice period (ie.
the period of hospitalisation). So that we can show the client the
itemised account by day. Is there a similar function in VPMS?

Thanks for you help!
Amanda.

Hi Amanda,

I would maintain a single in progress invoice until they are ready to be discharged at which point you can complete the invoice and check out the patient just like you do for out patients. So whole process is:

  • Check-In patient to Hospital work list.
  • Do Consult workflows from the hospital work list adding clinical and charging as you work on the patient and maintain the invoice as In progress.
  • When ready to be discharged change invoice to Completed.  In Hospital list entry will be shown as Billed so reception aware ready to be discharged and total costs etc.
  • Check out patient from hospital.  Invoice is finalised , payment, discharge forms printed etc.

Hope this helps.

Cheers

Tony
