Other Item Information

You may sometimes need to modify or include extra information for the item.

If the patient has a valid Private Health Fund, the Use Private Fund Schedule tick box will be enabled. Clicking on this tickbox will insert the fund's fee for this particular item.

Service Date

If you are invoicing for a service which occurred on a different day, you should change the Service Date to the correct date.

Service Time

The Service Time is automatically taken from the Appointment time. If the Service Time is significantly different and it is important that it be recorded correctly (e.g. for a second visit on the same day), then you may want to change the time of the service.

If the service was an inpatient service then the Inpatient Services checkbox should be ticked. This will change the rebate and gap amount to reflect the 75% Schedule Inpatient Rebate.

Notes

The Notes field prints on invoices and DB4 claim forms, and is transmitted through HIC Online. The most common use for this field is to enter Workcover claim numbers, second visit on same day details, Inpatient details and an operative assistant's name and provider number, as well as noting whether the item is 'not normal aftercare'.

Time Spent

The Time Spent field does not have to be completed unless you have a specific need to record this.
