A Standard Procedure consists of a description and associated Billing items and Coding items (ICD/DRG). It can also be associated to the Billing Entity (Practitioner or Theatre) and the Referrer/Surgeon.

Standard Procedures can be set up for:

• Surgeon Billing and Hospital Billing
• When set up for Hospital Billing, the Standard Procedure can map to ICD10 and DRG thus eliminating duplication of data entry. This should only be mapped if you are sure these codes rarely change.

Standard Procedures can then be used as follows:

• Select a Standard Procedure on the Appointment/Booking form to populate the Appointment Comment field with the name of the Procedure and associated Item Codes
• Right clicking on the booking in either List or Calendar view and selecting Informed Financial Consent or Invoice Client will populate the IFC or Invoice with these Item Codes
• For hospitals, on associating this invoice with an admission, the data/coding flows through to the HCP and PHDB reporting and In Hospital Claim

Standard Procedures can be added/maintained via:

• The Appointment Form by selecting the [...] to the right or the Standard Procedure drop down field.

• On the IFC/invoice form. On entering line items on the form, click on the Add Std Proc button on the sidebar.

• Via Utilities - Lookups - Standard Procedures under the Clinical Section
• Select Add on the sidebar
• Enter the name/description in the top panel
• Add the associated Item Codes in the bottom panel
• Select the Providers and Referrer/Surgeons who carry out these procedures
