INSIDE BLUE CHIP ‐ TIPS & TRICKS
Our first edition of Blue Chip Tips & Tricks was so well received that we've decided to make it a
regular e‐mail to subscribers. We trust that you find these e‐mails a valuable resource to
getting
the
most
out
of
your
software.
Did you know?
1. Patient Details Changing patient status from active to inactive will prevent inactive patients' names being
displayed in a patient search.
2. Access Recently Used File List If you accidently close Blue Chip, the last 5 patients’ files can be accessed (and in certain cases the
associated tasks) by clicking on the File menu on the Task Bar.

3. Reports Report groupings (in the Print Report window) change depending where you access the reporting
option from ‐ either the printer icon on the patient file or from within Medicare Australia ‐ Practice
Explorer etc.
4. Invoices You can defer your Invoices instead of cancelling them? They will still appear on the Day Sheet
report (as being deferred) and can be completed later by opening them within the original account
class they were created. A Deferred Invoice Report lists all invoices that have been deferred.
5. Medicare Claiming When using Patient Claims and the patient pays the invoice in full: It is recommended that
practices leave the payment type as Cheque (that way reimbursements are paid directly to the
patient) – regardless of whether the patient has lodged their banking details with Medicare or not.
Medicare will override this (to Direct Debit) at their end if banking details have been lodged with
them.
Medicare recommends that patients should record electronic banking details directly with
Medicare Australia and not with the practice.

6. Referral History Deselecting
the
Hide
Inactive
Referrals
checkbox
allows
users
the
ability
to
view
a patient’s
complete referral history.
7. Appointments When cancelling appointments, make sure you edit the appointment and add a comment as reason
for cancellation, then select the Cancel option. This captures a patient’s booking history, displays
reasons for cancellations and provides the practice with information that allows them to make a
rescheduling decision based on the appointment history (particularly useful for repeat offenders

who cancel at the last minute). A deleted appointment disappears without any trace and should
only be used if the user has made an error.
A complete history of patient’s booking (past and future) including cancellations can easily be
printed from
within
the
Patient
Details
Screen.
Select
Bookings
then
click
on
the
Option
(bottom right of the screen). Moving appointments between days and doctors is easily achieved within the “Outlook Style
Appointment Book. Just set the “View” to weekly and drag and drop your appointment cell as
required.
8. Correspondence Practice staff can address correspondence to other practitioners that have no association with
referrals (such as a Specialist, LMO etc) and have their names appeared automatically in a
document?
Administrator access is required for setup only. Once created, general user level is all that is needed
to enter the information.
Modifying Setup: Select Setup from Task Bar and go into Practice, Classes and use one of the
Account Contacts fields to add type of contact (e.g. LMO, Specialist, etc) within the Account Group
Listing, use the drop down menu to select Usual GPs (this will file their details under Doctors
subdirectory). Take careful note of which Account Contact Line is being used. e.g. Line 1‐6.
