Purpose

The Drug Tracking Payment Report is a revenue based report concerned with tracking payments received for services rendered that involved dispensing medications to patients.

For example, administering injections to a patient. If the medical practice receives these medications from drug companies, only paying for them once dispensed, the practice will need to track when these medications are dispensed to patients.

If the practice then only pays for the medication once payment from insurance has been received, the practice needs to be able to track how much money has thus far been received for those medications tracked.

The Drug Tracking Payment Report satisfies both of these tracking needs.

Concepts

In order to facilitate drug payment tracking, the following concepts are introduced:

*Drug Tracking Number - Services that involved dispensing medications to patients are marked with a drug tracking number. The drug tracking number is necessary in order to differentiate between procedures that do and do not involve dispensing medications to patients.
*Payment Threshold - Procedures that require dispensing medications to patients can be given a payment threshold amount. This threshold is used by the drug tracking payment report to determine if the total payment amount on each service has or has not met this threshold amount.
