Inpatients are patients who were admitted to a hospital or nursing home. Outpatients are those patients who were seen in an institution but who were not admitted (such as the emergency room of a hospital).
When you create an inpatient bill, you must select the facility the patient was managed in and an admission date. If you create an outpatient bill, you only need to select the facility.
Steps
1. Create provincial bills as per usual. Refer to Creating provincial bills (Ontario).
In addition,
For inpatient and outpatient bills, click Facility > Select One... and search for the institution by name or facility number and select.
💡 Tip: To set a facility number as a favourite, select the star icon beside it. When you create a bill, starred favourites appear first in the Facility search list.
For inpatient bills, click Admission date and enter the date you admitted the patient.
2. Submit the bills to MDBilling. Refer to Submitting provincial (OHIP) bills to MDBilling.
