Billing for Assistant
For Scheme and Agreement claims you will be prompted upon saving to add an Assistant voucher if any of the items charged are marked as 'Assistant Billable' in Billing Items. A list of your assistants, marked as Assists as Operations in their Address Book record, will appear and the assist fee calculation will be made according to the health fund criteria.
Billing as Assistant
For Scheme and Agreement claims, where your doctor has acted as the assistant, you will need to first calculate the required item and fee outside ECLIPSE (via the quote window or a dummy invoice). Add this item to the voucher just like any other service (ie. through the Add Item 
icon), ensuring the surgeon's details and the relevant surgical items are entered into the Service Text field.
From Genie version 8.6.9 and higher, you can calculate and bill as the assistant from within the IMC Invoice Wizard. When you save the voucher that contains an assistant billable item, you now have the option to select the Invoice as Assist button.
This works the same as regular invoices in that you select the surgeon who performed the operation from your Address Book. This process will automatically add the surgeon's provider number and the surgical item numbers in the Service Text field.
Note: You cannot claim assist items with Patient Claims. These claims will need to be submitted manually to Medicare.
