Has anyone got a Simpler superbill/feesheet that they would be willing to share, that would be easier to modify. The printed_fee_sheet.php file is the program I am looking for.

I will start modifing the one I have , but was just worndering if some one had a different one that might save me some time.

That program should be rewitten as a navtive EZPDF, with good formating instead of HTML based, it can’t easily be modified and it’s hyper sensitve to page overflow.

@Terry, are you trying to get an output/report or make the superbill interactive?

When we started making changes to printed fee sheet, we found that current design works for the original developer with a very specific set of requirements. Then the thought was if someone is going to rewrite it, might as well make it interactive entry tool for fee sheet application which is a productivity killer for MDs used to putting checkmarks on paper superbills. In the end our developer built this VB app which has become the single most critical application related to EMR. Too customized to share but here are the key features for your consideration:

  1. Navigation - rather than bills for a day or a single encounter, MDs are able to ‘scroll’ through superbills. Example: If current superbill is for pid 1234 on 1/1/2015,
    a. click on < and > buttons next to the encounter number lets them see prev and next superbills for pid 1234.
    b. click on < and > buttons next to the pid lets them go to previoius and next patient seen on 1/1/2015 or nearest day.
  2. If the encounter is billed, updates are disabled and only billed items are shown. Any amendments must be done by the biller.
  3. We retained idea of code groups but in addition two virtual groups are added for CPT and ICD sections each.
  4. First group shows top 10 (or n) frequently billed procedure or diag codes for that patient and not included in the constant sections. This group makes the superbill more pertinent to the patient.
  5. Second group shows top 10 frequently billed codes for the practice - again not included in constant or patient specific sections. As the practice builds history, this group starts increasing hit ratios.
  6. Each section (procedure and diag codes) has 5 code description spaces for input to biller as free text. This gets stored in biller note field.
  7. Another free text section is included as addendum to biller notes.

As most of our medical issues now have codes attached, we are in the process of pre-selecting those entries at the time of creation. Something you may want to consider.

We are also adding an exclusion mechanism which will prevent non-applicable codes from being displayed for the specific patient, e.g. sex, age etc.

Let us know if you need any help.

WOW !! That sounds really neat and I can see huge pluses for the doc’s.

@ MD Support. Would you be willing to send me some screen shots of this?
I am past most of my hurddles and would like to devote some “Thinking Time” to this project.

Thanks
