Setting up Surgery Connect billing

Setting up Surgery Connect billing

For Surgery Connect work where the invoices need to be sent to the hospital, you may first need to register with the hospital and confirm what address they want invoices sent to.  Then in CE, set up a new entry in your Databases > Funds page for each facility where you need to bill under Surgery Connect provisions. Add their name, address and email contact details, and set up the multiplier and schedule ('Sked Base'), and for anaesthetists the override unit value. In the example shown, the hospital is paying 100% of DVA fees for general/surgical work, or $32.70 a unit for anaesthetics











Once that's done, on a Surgery Connect invoice on the patient details 'Fund' dropdown choose the appropriate Surgery Connect entry that you added, enter your items and email the invoice to the hospital using the 'Use Fund Address' option.
