2.1 How to Generate a New DOS Encounter: Insured Patients

There are 2 different ways in ChiroFusion to generate charges for a DOS Encounter using CPT & ICD Codes. Charges can automatically be generated at the time a Provider is signing an Exam/SOAP note, and also generated manually directly in billing.
OPTION 1: AUTO-GENERATING A DOS ENCOUNTER CHARGE WHEN SIGNING AN EXAM/SOAP
This feature is a one-time short cut for generating charges & if a report is signed/saved without checking the ‘Move Visit To Billing Queue’ then charges can only be created/edited directly in billing for that DOS.

...

 
The charges will be based on the ICD & CPT Codes you have included in your report, and the fees that have been set in billing will automatically be applied to your correlating procedure codes.
In order for a DOS Encounter to be sent over to Billing as 'Insured' a patient must have Primary Insurance (and/or Secondary Insurance) saved on their profile, & also attached to their case.
