Billing of a pre-agreed price that requires submission of a Start- and End time. The code will not be included in the Anaesthetic Statistics, regardless of the unit type.

The Time Billing Code acts as a single Billing Code with a fixed price. The procedure's start and end times are prompted and the times and number of minutes are posted.

The number of minutes billed is reflected in the quantity field but is not used to calculate the price charged for the tariff. Example: Predetermined procedure price = R100.00 - will be charged regardless of how long the process took.

Please Note: The Fixed Price Time Billing Code (JBMOD) will always be billed with Anaesthetic Fixed Price (JBANA1), as one indicates how long the procedure was and the other one represents the Procedure price.

Follow up is referring to a patient that needs to come back to a practitioner for the same condition for further treatment or to check the patient progress.  The follow-up indication will assist the practitioner to draw a report to indicate all the patients that need a follow-up consultation which is booked for a follow-up consultation. The follow-up consultations normally will take less time from the practitioner as a patient that comes for the first time to the practitioner. This can be used to organise the practitioners time more efficient. 

In the desktop app, there is a follow-up function that allows the user to indicate if the patient needs a follow-up consultation and when, the function allows the user to phone the patient and arrange appointments with the follow-up consultation, for example, patients with chronic diseases.
