Charting

Patient charting

Claims and Billing

Billing
  •  Auto-posting of your insurance payments is now faster
  • We’ve improved the division of “due from client” and “due from insurance” amounts
  • Problems in accounting appear automatically on the “dashboard” screen
  • Most problems have a simple “fix this” button on the dashboard to lead you through the repair process
  • Insurance company information can be picked from a national list of insurers
  • A new system for editing claims permits you to tailor a claim to the non-standard demands of any insurance company and use the same format going forward

Statistics and Reports

  • A new “filtering” system lets you create a custom report for any subset of your financial or practice information.
  • Group practice reports are much easier to produce
  • View your statistics with our new dynamic graphs of information
  • You can print out a complete client chart that includes more than just session notes (such as treatment plans, appointment history, insurance information, and final statements). This gives you a quick and easy response to a records request
Analytics

Messages

Patient portal
  • Messages to other staff members or clients can now include attachments
  • Messages are organized into “threads”, making it easier to see the context of a message
  • Messages can include several recipients, all of whom are included in the “thread.” You can add additional staff to the thread at any time.
  • Messages can be sent to multiple clients simultaneously without revealing the identities of other clients, e.g. if your office is closed for a weather emergency

Reminders

  • Each appointment has a “history” which includes reschedules, reminders sent, confirmations received, etc.
  • Staff as well as clients can now flag an appointment as “confirmed”
  • Multiple reminders can be sent for a single appointment. Example: an email can be sent two days before the appointment and a text message one day before.

Client Portal

Patient Portal
  • Clients can electronically sign and return documents without ever printing them on paper. The signed documents are automatically saved to the client chart.
  • Clients log in via the same login page used by staff.

  • Clients can print their own receipts, superbills, statement copies, etc. on demand; there’s no need to ask staff to send these documents
