Clinical notes
The purpose of this protocol in a healthcare billing system would be to prevent incorrect billing and ensure compliance with healthcare regulations. Specifically, it would alert users if they are about to bill using a 9920* new patient code when there is already an existing note with a 9920* code. This helps in preventing the same patient from being billed as a 'new patient' more than once, which is typically not allowed by most healthcare insurance policies.
