1. Type C billing now can be preset for specific MBS items

   SimDay can now automate Type C accounts.
   
   Firstly, specify if the item is affected by Type C rules. Simply go to the Setup Menu > MBS Codes, once you have opened the item in question, in the Day Only section, select B or C.
   
   Secondly, your contract will determine if you can charge Same Day Band 1 or nothing at all for accommodation. Once you have determined that, you need to set that up in SimDay. Go to the Setup Menu > Health Fund Fees, and tick or untick the 'When Type C - Charge Accom Theatre Fees'.
   
   When billing for that item number, the accommodation will default to Same Day Band 1 fees or nothing at all.

9. Removal of Outpatients from Incomplete Report

   Since outpatient episodes do not need to get coded nor grouped, we have decided to exclude them from the Incomplete Report so that the report shows only episodes that are relevant.
