To generate an eSuperbill, navigate to Billing module. Select the patient (s) and click ‘Generate eSuperbill’.
‘Billing Status’ of patients whose bill is not generated yet shows ‘Not Billed’ whereas billed patient’s status displays ‘Signed’.
Date of service (DOS) for each eSuperbill is the most recent date on which a task is performed by the provider.
DOS is auto populated here from the care plan of the patient.
The user is able to view all the activities that have taken place for a patient by clicking on the Log icon.
Log displays ‘Task’ name, ‘Time’ taken for that task, date of service and provider name.
eSuperbill is generated with ‘Rendering Provider’, ‘Location’ and ‘Diagnosis’ of the patient.
