Q
A patient has reappeared in the Waiting Room after I recorded
their visit, and billed them. Why?
A
This is likely because you also use MedicalDirector Clinical,
and you have instructed Pracsoft to add patients to the Waiting
Room via Clinical. If the doctor opens the patient's record
in Clinical, and records
a Medicare Item Number within their record, the patient
will be automatically added to Pracsoft's Waiting Room. However,
if you bill the patient in Pracsoft before the doctor has
closed their record in Clinical, Clinical will push them to
the Waiting Room again. In other words, the doctor must
close the patient's record in Clinical before
you bill them in Pracsoft. Note also that the setting that
allows Clinical to add patients to the Waiting Room is found
in Pracsoft's Global
Settings.
Appointments
Q
Why doesn't my doctor appear in the Appointment Book after
I've set them up?
A
After setting up a doctor in Pracsoft, you need to add
them to the Appointment Book before you will see them
there.
Online Claiming
Q
Why is my Incentive Payment not appearing?
A
- If the practitioner has 'Referral Required' ticked in their record, incentive will not appear.
- If you have not selected Medicare Plus [10990] or Medicare Plus Rural [10991], incentive will not be applied.
- In the Record Visit screen, if the practitioner has not been selected, the incentive will not be applied.
- If the patient's concession is not set correctly, the incentive will not be applied (the patient must be either under 16 [before their 16th birthday], a pensioner, a Health Care Card holder, or a Commonwealth Seniors Card holder to be eligible for the incentive).
- For DVA patients, the 'Apply VAP Incentive' option must be ticked in the Practitioner Details window.
- If this is item-number-specific, it may be that the item is not an 'attendance' item, and therefore not entitled to the incentive payment. If you feel it should be, you can tick the 'Attendance Item' option via Admin > Fees.
Q
When using Individual Signing tokens, do I need to also have
HI Signing and Encryption certificates installed?
A
The Individual Signing (USB) token is for Online Claiming,
and secure messaging only. For all other eHealth activities,
you must have HI Signing and Encryption certificates installed.
