A Standard Procedure consists of a description and associated Billing items. ICDs and the DRG can also mapped if they are unlikely to change. The Standard Procedure can be associated to the Billing Entity and the Referrer/Surgeon.

• Selecting a Standard Procedure on the Appointment/Booking form will populate the Appointment Comment field with the name of the Procedure and associated Item Codes
• On generating the Informed Financial Consent or Invoice, these Item Codes are populated
• For hospitals, on associating this invoice with an admission, the data/coding flows through to the Hospital Casemix Protocol (HCP) and Private Hospital Data Bureau (PHDB) reporting and In Hospital Claim (IHC)
