Billing implants and devices

Use the bill only requisition and purchase order functionality to store and communicate information for implants or devices that are used during a procedure. The information that is stored includes the item, lot, serial number, case, patient and procedure information. The patient procedure information can then be used to identify and track a patient’s medical device in the event of a recall.

You can use Bill Codes to prompt the vendor to either bill for the item, or optionally, to bill and generate a replenishment order.

Process

  1. After the implant procedure, the procedure information is created on a Requisition.
  2. The Requisition goes through Manage Purchase Request and created into a purchase order. Process Purchase Request (batch) is used to separately process Bill Only requisitions so that the required information can be sent to the vendor for invoicing.
  3. An issue can be sent to the vendor using Issue Final on Purchase Order or Purchasing Mass PO Issue (batch).
  4. Mass Create Purchase Order Receipts (batch) and the Receipt Interface (batch) are run to create receipts (used for three-way matching) and invoices.
  5. Alternatively, you can interface the same details directly from a clinical system through the Requisition Interface or Load Interfaced Purchase Order.
