As of version 1.6.5, you can define specific per-product rules for how a product is processed at your controlled drug machines.
Previously, CDMs could only apply charges to the bill without performing any other actions to the medical record. We have added a CDM Setup page to the Pharmacy Setup, which will allow you to define how each machine should handle the bill.
If the CDM is set to follow the routing rule "Product Setup" then it will use the settings you have put on this page to determine how a product is handled.
Under the Product Setup page, the Product Setup options allows you to turn on and off the tabs for each product. When a tab is invisible, the rules within have been turned on.
Click on the Control Drug Machine Setup to turn on the tab and set up the options for this product.
When you first open up the CDM tab on a product screen, the options for price override, bill transactions, and the patient record should all be turned off.
To have the transaction appear on an open order, turn on Bill Transactions. This should be the standard for any non prescription items that are stored in CDMs but are still billable to the client, such as bandaging material,
To have the transaction appear on the patient's record, choose to either Generate Prescription or to Generate Medication Record. The Medication Record option is available for non-prescription items that may still need labeling information, such as a shampoo or flea collar.
If None is selected, then the item will only appear on the patient's open order, and will not appear on the medical record itself.
We include a price calculator that will allow you to see how this product will normally be billed according to the rules under Product Details.
This setting opens additional windows that allows you to adjust how the product is billed. If you need to charge sales tax on this product, for example, you can turn the specific tax for this kind of product on within this tab.
This setting also allows you to use a special price for CDM pulls that is different from the standard price sets for the product.
You can also set a special fee for CDM draws that is separate from the normal service fees that apply to the product.
