The Tip Sheets are designed to aid when creating/logging encounters for students on a provider's case load. Tip Sheets provide information about the Service Type based on the provider's role, Medicaid Procedure Codes that are aligned with medical billing, information related to whether a Start/End Time is required when logging, and a designation of whether the Service Type is also a Medical Area.
Lastly, in most cases, a section for General Service Information is included. This section provides general guidelines, based on role, for providers who are logging encounters.
