I currently work in a pain management office, and we often have to dismiss patients for various reasons. These things could range from a "dirty" u/a to "doctor shopping." Well, if we know ahead of time that we'll be dismissing someone, a post-it note is put on the chart with the following tag:

DOADNPGDNC200

Dismiss On Arrival Do Not Pass Go Do Not Collect 200 (dollars)

Hey, it works for us!

Oh, and we have a habit of putting a drawing of an eye on a post-it if we're watching the patient because we have a suspicion of them doing something illegal.
