Is it possible when staff selects a vaccination that the system can somehow look at the patient's insurance and fire off a warning not to give this vaccination to patient's with a certain insurance?
Our reason is that insurance companies are not returning $$ for a certain vaccination and it is costing us more to order and give it. Would really like a "In your face reminder".
So we were able to create a pop-up to fire once the immunization form is selected and it checks for insurances. Looking to see if anyone has any other creative solutions.
MEL code can pull in the name of the insurance from registration to your chart note. If you use the code {INS_NAME()}, it will pull the name of the patient's primary insurance. some code to warn your users would be like this.
{if match(INS_NAME(),"Apple Health") >0 then
userOK("WARNING! Do not give patient TDAP Vaccine. Apple Health will not pay for this.")
else
""
endif}
place that code in a form, or a text component and it will check the patient's insurance when the note is opened, letting the user know that TDAP will not be payed for.
Let me know if you have any questions.
you can put something in the patient banner
