I have an account who asked me to provide them with a form that could use for standard outpatient procedure notes.  I personally feel that there are too many variations for them to use one paper form and offered for me to do it for them at a discount since almost the entire thing would be a standard that I don't have to type in its entirety.  This account is a great account and I figured it isn't a big deal say to chage 25 cents instead of a $1 (example) for the form since I only have to type a couple letters to pull up the form and insert any changes.

I really don't know the easiest way to keep track of this discount or what amount to discount.  Any ideas?  I'd rather see me getting a small amount for doing the form then to get nothing for them using a paper form.  Plus, the account is newer to me and I thought it might look like a plus for me to offer them a discount and to make their life easier by not having to dictate the entire note.

Thoughts...ideas???  TIA

I love doing op notes. They are very difficult though and i do recommend that you go into them slowly if at all possible. I was doing strictly clinic notes when I came to work here, but lost a girl that did the Op notes and we decided to send our clinic notes out to someone else and I started doing OP notes and other types of dictations. They are my fav.

I helped my son out with his paper route the other morning because he was sick with a temp of 102.  I'm walkng around, almost done with the papers, heading home, birds are singing, sun is starting to shine and then, ALL OF A SUDDEN, VAROOOOOOOM!!!  About 4 cars go whizzing by, almost running me over, oblivious to their surroundings, obviously late for work again.  Checked my watch and it was 5:45 a.m.  6 o'clock shift running late again.  Can't get their Dunkin Donuts and make it to work on time unless they drive like a bat out of h...l.

I just laughed and laughed and thought, "Well geeeee, it stinks to be you doesn't it?  Now why don't you take time out to fill up with GASOLINE!"  HEE HEE!

I don't know why people are in such a hurry lately.  Why don't they just set their alarms 15 minutes earlier for Pete's sake?  I was taking my older son to work one morning and was at a red light at a very busy, accident prone, intersection.  The light turned green.  I always take a quick look left and right before going through the green light and I didn't even have time to glance to the left before the "A" behind me laid on his horn.  Of course then I got funny and drove like a granny, just to make him mad.  He ended up finding space to pass on the right and he gave me the finger.

love him, love him, love him.  in interviews and in movies.
