The tab order will skip from Street Address (Add'l) to the Postal Code.  The Postal Code lookup will complete the City and State.  In addition, the Postal Code lookup will default the Area Code of the telephone numbers if the Area Code is defined in Postal Code Maintenance.

A foreign country may be entered if needed.  The cursor will, by default, skip this field.  To enter a country, Shift+Tab to back up to the field to enter the country.

NOTE:  Canadian mail is addressed like US Mail:  Zip Code, City & State in US would be the Canadian Postal Code (L7L6M-7), the Canadian Province (Burlington) & Canadian Code (ON for Ontario).  In the Country field in MedSuite you would enter Canada.  Therefore, it is entered into MedSuite with the Postal Code, Province and Province Code (AB for Alberta, ON for Ontario, etc). and then Canada can be typed into the Country field.

Employment

 

Practice Maintenance allows the system to be configured to allow entry of the Employer Lookup or Employer Name/Description or both.

Some practices will define employers in a separate Employee Maintenance function and use the Employer Lookup. This allows the Primary Insurance Plan to be pulled through from the Employer as a default.  Other practices will find that this capability does not gain them much and will simply want to key in both the Employer Name/Description and the Primary Insurance Plan.
