Medicare Benefits Schedule

Before you begin

Associate a Medicare Item Number with a visit.



Procedure

  1. Click Medicare. To locate an Item Number, either:

    Enter the Item Number into the Go to Item No: text box,

    Manually scroll through the list of items, or

    Enter a keyword into the field provided at the upper-right of the window and then click Text search. Repeated clicking of this button jumps to the next item containing the search text.

  2. Select an item and click Add Item No. to visit.
  3. Click Save to save the items to the patient's record (including Progress Notes). This information can optionally be fed back to the Pracsoft Consultation Viewer or a third-party billing package using MedicalDirector Clinical's VISITS.OUT file. There is also provision for the entry of Notes/Comments on this window. Notes entered here are also saved to the VISITS.OUT file.
