These are Product Categories specified in the Product Categories table. They are used to group Products or Services together when displayed in the Consultation drop down lists in an appointment.
This is a short code that can be used to identify items. In particular, it is used to hold Medicare product or service item numbers which Medicare use as a basis for payment.
If a Medicare Item code is added in here the ... can be clicked on to view the MBS details.
Click Update to add the MBS Schedule Fee and MBS Benefit amount to the product record.
If these values need to be added to a number of items then use the option in Data Maintenance > MBS (Scheduled Fees) > Update Products & Services
For the purposes of Bp Allied the following definitions apply:
Is Consultation Type = True (is ticked) when it relates to the selling of services that take place at a specific time for which an appointment is made.
Is Consultation Type = False (not ticked) when it is a Product is a physical item to be sold. This can be sold independent of an appointment; OR a service that does not relate to time.
If this is left ticked then when the item is added to an invoice a corresponding appointment will need to be selected
If an item is added to an Invoice that is designated per hour = True, then the duration of the appointment is calculated in hours and added to the invoice in the Qty field.
eg 1 hour appt = Qty 1; 1/2 hr appt = Qty 0.5
The price is then multiplied by that number of hours calculated for the appointment
If it is no longer a current Product or Service then untick the Active tick box and the option will not display in any of the available drop down lists.
These two columns have been added so that when sales information is exported to MYOB the records can be matched using the Accounting Item Code. Any products or services without having one of these assigned will not be imported. See more details on the MYOB export report.
If a Product or Service has a relevant Item Code, then when the MBS Scheduled fees are imported into Products and Services, the relevant fee will show in these fields. These will be used by Medicare Online Claiming.
If a Product or Service has a relevant Item Code, when the DVA Scheduled fees are imported into Products and Services, the relevant fee will show in these fields. These will be used by DVA Claiming. The Sell Price must equal the DVA Fee for a claim to be processed.
This identifies which specialty or modality the service (Item Code) relates to, e.g. E = Dietitian, P = Physio and Y = Psychology, and is required for all items that are going to be used for Health Fund claiming.
In versions prior to 3.7.7.5 setting both the GST Applicable and Price Incl GST fields to Yes will not display the GST amount separately.
If this is left ticked then when the item is added to an invoice a corresponding appointment will need to be selected
