Checking out

The integrated coding and billing within the EHR eliminates the need for the superbill and encounter form when the patient is ready to leave. The check-out desk should know the details of the visit, verify any charges or payments, and provide any necessary next steps — whether that’s scheduling another appointment, setting up tests, or referring the patient to another provider. Print any orders, prescriptions, or referral letters initiated by the physician and hand them to the patient.
