If charging fees for filling out forms, how is everyone handing this using OpenEMR?
I’m reluctant to create an encounter just for the purpose of filling out a form, but it appears the only way to generate charges is from within an encounter.
Even if I do create an encounter and bill some code I created for filling out forms, how do I prevent this charge from being included in the X12 file and going off to the insurers? If I click “Mark as billed,” will the charge be added to the patient’s balance (instead of going to the clearinghouse), or is “Mark as billed” the same as “Paid”?
