Quick-Post

With the Quick-Post function, you can quickly post same-type charges. An example would be flu shots, allergy injections, or lab work.

Upon accessing this function, one of the following screens displays based on how your practice has elected to post procedures:

Batch Number
The Batch Number screen displays if your practice has elected to use batch numbers for posting procedures. For information on using batches, see the Transaction Batch Control Menu.



Data Field Information
Prompt Response Req Len
Batch Number Type the code you want or click the magnifying glass to search a list of every 'unlocked' batch. You can also create a new batch by typing a batch number that does not exist.   10
Default Last Batch Select this check box to have the last Batch Number used automatically populate in the Batch Number field.   1

If you type or select a batch number, the detailed information for that batch number displays. The fields are informational only and cannot be changed. Running Totals are provided for the charges, payments, and adjustments so you can see the total amounts currently posted.



Superbill Number
The Superbill Number screen displays if your practice has selected the Post from Superbill Number field in the CGM webPRACTICE Default Values function. You can only post from a Superbill Number if your practice uses the Print Superbills function in Scheduling. Using superbill numbers to post procedures eliminates several data entry keystrokes and reduces the chances of selecting the wrong patient.



Data Field Information
Prompt Response Req Len
Superbill # Type the applicable superbill number. If you type a superbill number that is invalid or one that CGM webPRACTICE cannot identify, a No Superbill Number found, manual entry required message displays and the patient look-up screen displays so you can proceed. The superbill number you typed then defaults in the Superbill # field on the Procedure Entry detail screen.   10

Patient Look-up
If your practice does not post using superbill numbers, you will be required to select the patient account you want to post procedures to using the standard Patient Look-up function.



After you have completed the applicable lead-in screens, the main Quick-Post screen displays. Quick-Post only allows for a single procedure code and/or procedure grouping code and up to two diagnosis codes.
