Use KIP to count days between dates

Did you know that you could use KIP to count days from today – both forward and backward?

It’s easy. Use the jump button on the appointment book.

Count Days with Jump Button

The jump button finds you the date any number of days either before or after today.

Let’s say you need to schedule an appointment 63 days from today, to make sure you do not schedule a routine foot care appointment within the global period of todays appointment. Click the Jump button and enter 63. That will go to the day on the appointment book exactly 63 days from today.

But did you know it works backwards, too?

Let’s say a patient comes in and you are not sure if there previous routine foot care appointment was at least 63 days ago.

Click Jump again and enter -63.

That will instantly show you the date 63 days ago. If their last exam was before that, their insurance will cover that appointment.

A simple trick that helps a lot.

Using the Line Item Report

Learn tons about your practice in an instant with the Line Item Report

The Line Item Report gives you each code (CPT Codes and/or Inventory Codes) billed during a specific date range.

You can choose any date range you prefer – Last Week, Last Month, Last Year.

You can also limit the report to a specific range of codes, provider, insurance, or location.

If you select PRINT ALL LINE ITEMS, you will have the name of every patient with that code.
If you select PRINT SUMMARY ONLY, you will get all the totals.

Some examples:

For example, you might ask – how many x-rays did I perform last month?

You would enter your preferred date range and make your starting code 7 (since all radiology cpt codes begin with 7) and make your ending code 8.

If you want a every code beginning with BON you would enter:

start code: bon
end code: boo

Think of it as in alphabetical order.

If you wanted to look up all the words in the dictionary beginning with “bon”, you would start at “bon” and end when you get to “boo”.

Here is another example with numbers:

Let’s say you want a line item report with all codes beginning with 9

Enter:

start code: 9
end code: 99999

* * * * * * * *

Important note:

The codes are alphabetical and not numerical. So if you entered:

start code: 9
end code: 10

You wouldn’t get any results, since all numbers beginning with 1 are before all numbers beginning with 9.
