The billing system in my current position has the ability to print a "face sheet" to screen/printer or disc. I would approach this problem by having the billing system print such a face sheet to disc at the completion of registration. A MUMPS program can watch for the appearance of the face sheet file, suck it into M globals, $Piece it apart and file the patient in VistA untouched by human hands. M is a great tool for such shenanigans.
Rule: NEVER type something twice... doubles your errors/hassle/costs. regards, jlz Googling "expect" yields another neat looking tool that I don't have time to learn.
