Billing for Walk-In Flu Clinic
Describes how to bill for the flu shot.
BILLING FOR FLU SHOT
OSCAR has developed an easy billing function for special walk-in Flu Shot clinics to eliminate the need to book an appointment or search for the billing code.
From the Appointment Screen
- Click on the ‘SEARCH’ tab
- Search for the patient in the normal way by typing in part of the patient’s name and press ENTER. Click on the Demographic ID of the correct patient
- Click on the ‘Flu Billing’ link under the "Billing" heading on the left side of the Patient’s Master Demographic record.
- The program will automatically default to the diagnostic code 896 for flu shot & the service code G591A for Flu Shot without previous appointment
- Clicking ‘SUBMIT’ will immediately bill the patient for the flu shot
- You can also click "Submit & Go to Prevention", which brings up the oscarPrevention screen so you can document the vaccination and save it in the patient's E-Chart.
FLU BILLING REPORT
The flu report allows you to print a report to track the amount of flu shots done in the clinic for statistical reasons and for confirmation of the Ministry bonus for Primary Health Care.
See Chapter 9 for details on how to create and print a flu billing report.
