You can now add a custom Item Code to your substance abuse
panels. This allows you to input a custom item code for substance abuse panel. Since there are multiple variations of drug panel screenings you can run, it benefits both you and the client when accounting to be able to have a custom item code for each one.
This will help you with:
- Accounting: Run weekly, monthly, or quarterly totals based on custom item codes.
- Organization: You can organize drug panels by custom names, vendor name, types, or jurisdictions.
- Reconcile invoices: Using custom item codes is a great way to help reconcile totals with your vendor on your invoices.
- Usage Insights: For example, you can include the county name in your custom item code; this would give you a better picture of the volume of screenings being ran in a specific county. You can take this into consideration when pricing for your customers or negotiating a discount with a vendor.
How it works
Under Admin >>
Manage Substance Abuse Panels >>
select an existing or create a new drug panel search, you will see a new
field called custom item code.
When you enter your code here, it is automatically given the prefix SAD_CSTM_ to indicate it is a custom code on billing charges and on invoices.
In the example above you can see there is a custom item code for a DOT Panel and a Non-DOT Drug Panel.
