Setting the 'Not Duplicate Service' Indicator in the Service Text Prompt

Before you begin

If you provide the same service to the same patient more than once with in the same day, then when creating an invoice for that service for online claiming (Bulk Bill / DVA/ Eclipse/ Patient Claims), you must indicate that the service is not a duplicate by setting the 'Not Duplicate Service' flag in the 'Service Text' window.

Procedure

  1. To access the service text window, locate the Service Text field for the Service Item you want to record Service Text for, click within the field, and then either:
    • click the

      button, or
    • press SPACE + ENTER
  2. The Service Text window appears.
  3. Select the 'Not duplicate Service' option from the Service Flags drop-down list. This selection will eventually appear within the invoice window. Note that this field is not available if on the New Invoice window you selected 'Pathology' from the Service > Type drop-down list.
  4. Select an Explanation from the associated drop-down list. Note that this list is initially empty. You can add new Explanation items to this list;
    • By free-typing into the Explanation field (max 50 characters, except for DVA claims which allow for 100 characters), and then clicking the Add button, or
    • Beforehand, via the Billing and Fees tab of Bluechip's Practice Options.
  5. Record the time of the service was performed into the Time of Service text box. This field accepts the Windows time format of HH:mm. For example, to record 2:30 p.m. enter the 24-hour format of 14:30.
