Which other method can be used to enter procedure charges into Epic?

Entering procedure charges in Epic can be efficiently accomplished through the method of placing an order. When a clinician places an order for a procedure, the associated charges are automatically recorded in the system. This method not only streamlines the billing process but also ensures that the charges are accurately aligned with the procedures performed during a patient's visit.

Using the ordering function captures essential details about the procedure, such as the date performed and provider information, which are vital for accurate billing. Furthermore, it facilitates easier tracking and management of patient encounters and charges, enhancing overall workflow efficiency for healthcare providers.

The other methods mentioned do not serve as viable options for entering procedure charges. Waiting for patient confirmation does not initiate or record the charge in a timely manner. Limiting the entry of procedure charges to medical assistants also presents workflow limitations, as this creates bottlenecks and could cause delays in charge capture. Additionally, avoiding entering charges early could lead to complications in billing and revenue cycle management, resulting in lost revenue opportunities.
