We have not yet implemented the new HTML form for the vaccines/immunizations, however we do have it in our live system. In our test system we have noticed that it doesn't seem to work to charge the fee for the injection but it does charge for the medication. In the live system it seems to not charge for the medication or the injection. We don't want to go live with the form and risk missing out on the injection fee and rely on billing to catch these charges, or rely on nursing to go back and manually enter them. Has anyone implemented the form, and if so- is the injection charge automatically charging?
Thank you.
We also would like to know if anyone is using it? If they have the billing working? Also interested to know If not using GEs HTML Immunization form how are other sites capturing the CVX codes for reporting?
The new form has to be pulling the vaccines from the GE immunization order category in order to get the billing information. It seems to be working on my end.
We use the form and love it. There is a lot of set up to be sure the defaults are where you want them, but it makes documenting imm's extremely fast. We usually have to change the units on the immunization administration codes though.
It was not pushing the administration code for us until we implemented CCC basic 1.1 even though the release notes of EMR SP8 said it included the fix. AND we couldn't implement basic 1.1 without upgrading to CCC 9.1 (we were on 8.3.8 and we were told they weren't compatible). There was a database patch to SP8 that resolved our previous crashing issues (after SP4 and before/during SP8) but they felt it had an unintended side effect and caused issues with Citrix so we held off. We were told the fix may be SP9 so we we waited to roll out and will have to retrain all staff and convert data again. We then experienced new crashing that we finally tied to an edit on our immunization list in live. The error wasn't specific and hard to track down. I worked with engineers to at least find the tables where the list lives (victory!). I checked the date modified and found one we changed and compared with our test system to find issue. We had added a series 3 to tdap and it DID NOT like it for some reason. SO, the moral of that story is to make sure you make a copy of the default list and don't make edits to the canned one because they can't get you another copy of it right now and in our case, they could have just selected the default list vs our custom one and avoided crashing. Hope this helps some!
