Would like a way that you can set parameters to tell the system when you would want to auto combine accounts for billing. Example: two hospital outpatient type visits the same day, can only have one bill.
What parameters do you currently use to determine when to combine accounts other than date of service and stay type? Would you ever have an OP and IP account to combine (example, patient came in to facility as OP and was discharged, but later that day was brought back and admitted as IP). Would the auto combine need to work for any other scenarios other than billing purposes, such as combing accounts under one guarantor? Would you combine to the oldest account or newest account?
