3 Epic Basic Appointment: Department Appointments Report Check Out
When a patient has completed their appointment, you can check him/her out directly from the Appointment Desk window by jumping to the Check Out Patient window. You can, also, check patients out from other places in Epic, including the Department Appointments Report (DAR).

4 Epic Basic Appointment: Department Appointments Report Check Out
Checking Out a patient from the DAR when they have completed their appointment is more efficient than checking out every single patient from the Appointments Desk. It eliminates the need to do a patient search for all patients. Patients with appointments that have been Checked In will appear on the ‘Status’ column as ‘Arrived’. You can quickly view the report to locate the appropriate patient.

You cannot Check Out a patient that has not been checked in.

6 Epic Basic Appointment: Department Appointments Report Check Out Window
The Check Out window reflects the same information as the Check In window. If a copay was not collected during the Check In process, you can collect it during the Check Out process (follow your practice policies on the copay collection process). In the adjacent example below, the Copay due amount of $25.00 and the Copay paid amount of $0.00 indicates the copay has not been collected.

If your practice policy is to collect the Copay during Check Out, collect the copay, indicate within the Copay paid the amount received, and list the appropriate source (cash, check, credit card). List any references for check or credit card payments. No reference is needed for cash.
