  1. Split payment by family members

    Split payments by family member balances. When entering a payment, allow the user to split the amount to assign portions of the payment to family members who have balances (similar to splitting a payment by provider).

    • Task list reminders

      Would like to be able to schedule reminders that display. For calls to be made, letters and reports to be printed, and various tasks, and the ability to check them off as they are done (could be added to Office Journal). Specify which provider or staff the alert is for. Also need call reminders in the appointment book. Should have an option to attach a "beep" or "chime" to the reminders to catch their attention. When the reminder pops up, should have options to cancel, remind again in five minutes, remind again in one hour, remind again in one day…

      • Medical History button

        A medical history button needs to be on the toolbar (not just medical alert button). This would be a place to write down and view each patient's medical history, including specific allergies, what medications they are taking at what doses... It needs to be a blank area that can be customized for every patient.

        • Add a third insurance (tertiary) for a patient

          Add the ability to set up a third (tertiary) insurance in the patient's Family File, and even a fourth (quaternary). This is increasingingly important because so many people are picking up Aflac's supplemental insurance. This is also needed for when a child's parents are divorced and have remarried, and both parents and/or step parents have insurance coverage for the children.

            • Insurance maximums, limits for coverage table categories

              Need to be able to attach insurance maximums/limitations to individual procedure codes and/or categories (could be done with coverage tables). Both monetary maximums and a maximum number of times the code will be covered each year, as in the case of prophies, bitewings, etc. Also age limtes. Should tie into the Continuing Care system so a warning message comes up if an appointment is scheduled before insurance will pay for it, and a patient will be flagged when their insurance will once more pay for a procedure. Also needed in the case of crowns and other procedures that will not…

                Add a column to the Treatment Planner that calculates and shows discounts or write-offs. Show credit adjustments as part of the treatment plan (cash discounts). Wants to be able to see adjustments as part of the treatment plan financing without adding the adjustments to the patients account until the treatment plan is completed--should have option to post automatically when the treatment plan is completed. Add options for the Treatment Planner to calculate discounts and taxes (similar to the Ledger, Enter Tax / Discount option).

                • Assign default provider for procedure codes and multi codes

                  Add the ability to attach specific procedure codes to certain providers for the default provider to use when a procedure code is posted. The user should be able to set up a procedure or multi-code to post for the patient's Prov1 (primary provider in the Family File), the patient's Prov2 (secondary provider in the Family File), or to a specific provider. This would provide the user with more options for posting procedures besides defaulting to the patient's Prov1 or to the provider selected in the Chart. This should include the ability to set up a multi-code for some procedures to…

                                    • More Time Blocks per provider & other improvements

                                      Ability for more customization and flexibility of time blocks (set them up at random). Set up a time block several times a day for one doctor (no limit). Allow notes to be added to time blocks. Should be able to assign more than six time blocks total to a provider, more than two a day and more than 12 per operatory. Set up filters for Billing Type as well as Procedure. Customize the colors. Clear time blocks for just one day or operatory. [3955 151963]

                                        • More phone numbers and flag preferred phone number

                                          Allow for more phone numbers, with a flag to indicate which is the preferred phone number, or the order of the phone numbers to be used when contacting the patient. Use preferred phone number for Appointment Book, etc. Add more phone number fields with the ability to label each one (e.g. "Cell," "Emergency," "Caretaker," "Pager," etc.). [963 2702 4229]
