PracticeQ Changelog

Welcome to the PracticeQ Changelog! This is where you can see a running list of all the changes implemented in practiceQ recently.

Feel free to reach out to us with any questions about what you see here.


Product Updates for September 2024

1. ePrescribe - Passing the Clients Email in the Prescription.

If the client has an email, we now include it in the prescription.

2. ePrescribe - Passing the Clients Diagnosis Through to the Prescription

If the client has Diagnosis listed on the Diagnosis Tab or on the Session Note, we will pass this through to the prescription as long as it matches an actual diagnosis code on the Scriptsure side. 

We have provided some visual cues to make sure your diagnosis matches and will be passed through:

1. When entering a new diagnosis, you can select from the list the Scriptsure keeps to make sure things match up:

2. If you have a code that does not match, we will let you know from the Diagnosis Code list so you can adjust it.

3. ePrescribe - Added More Prescription Info to the Medications Question Type

The medications question type did not show the whole script details or the pharmacy. We added these items.

4. Ability to Access Treatment Note Snippets and Portal Message Snippets

There was not a way to access the treatment note snippets or the portal message snippets. We added a button on the Notes List for the Treatment Note Snippets and a tab for the Portal Message Snippets.

Portal Settings > Message Snippets:

Lists > Notes > Manage Snippets:

Product Updates for August 2024

1. Addition of a Standard Sex Field

We now have a unique field to define the sex of a client which can be different than the gender. The Sex value is used to file insurance claims and ePrescribe medications so those two features will pull from the new sex field.

If you missed the in-app message for us to bulk pass the gender value into the new sex field, it can accessed by using this link

Email us here with any questions or issues.

2. Ability to Rotate Images 90° from the Submitted Form or Client Files

We added a quick fix for images that get uploaded in the wrong orientation.

Product Updates for May 2024

4. Claim Rejection Workflows

  • To prevent common rejection errors, we added validation to Diagnosis so it can’t be free text or anything other than a Dx code
  • If a claim gets rejected by the clearinghouse, they’ll get an email with the claim number, error, segments and other claims that were a part of the batch that was rejected.
  • If the entire batch is rejected, the rejected claim gets put in DRAFT and the rest get put in VALIDATED state so it’s easy to fix and resubmit.

These updates will give assistants to the admin more control over the practice's eRx account. They can invite new prescribers and supporting users, manage practices and more depending on their admin privileges in Scriptsure. This is help for those practices where the admin is not the manager of the account.

You can also easily access your ePrescribe settings from the More menu.

From the coinsurance fields, you can now set this to 100%. This will pull the full allowed amount.

3. Payer Settings Updates

From the payer settings, (Lists > Claims > Payers tab), you can now do the following:

  • Define the out-of-network practitioners for the payer
    • If an insurance client books with an out-of-network provider, they will be charged the normal fee for the service and bypass the copay and coinsurance process. This will prevent you from having separate services to cover this scenario.

  • Define the allowed amounts by provider
    • Do your providers have separate allowed amounts by your payers? You can now define those in the allowed amount section of the payer settings. When an insurance client books with an in-network provider, the coinsruance will be calculated by pulling the percentage from the allowed amount defined by the provider.

You can also define different copay and coinsurance amount by code on the client profile. See more about that here.

2. Setting to Group Appointments from the Same Practitioner on One Invoice

When you create an invoice with multiple appointments that are booked with different practitioners - this allocate the income correctly to the owner of the appointments.

The already paid amounts were split out from the main totals to provide more accurate outstanding total.

2. pQ Pay - Added Ability to Verify a Credit Card by Running a Pre-authorization When the Card is Entered

Under “Booking Settings > Payments”, there is a new setting to enable a pre-auth to be run on a card as it is entered into the system. This checks the card number and date and puts a 1 cent hold on the credit card to validate it is a correct card. The hold is then voided and no funds are deducted. The customer may see these transactions on the payment dashboard but the client should not see them on their statements. This reduces the ability to enter a non-valid card.

You can now grant other roles access to the pQ Pay Payment Dhashboard. Head to "More > Team > Roles". You can find the permission now under "Special Permissions".

5. Dedicated Place to Enter Allowed Amounts so We Can Calculate the  Coinsurance

We now have a place to record a client's coinsurance in the insurance section of the client profile. For this to work. You must enter the your allowed amounts from the insurance company under the payer settings.

If a coinsurance is entered, the copay will not be used to determine the client responsibility for an invoice. The coinsurance percentage of the allowed amount will be used.

6. Set the Team Calendar to Load Upon Login

The setting for "Do not add clients to the Google event attendee list" is defaulted to on to avoid names showing on the attendee list unintentionally.


5. "Potential Card Issues" Dashboard Widget

For pQ Pay Customers Only. Our integration with our own processor allows us to pull this information directly while other processors do not have the ability to pull the info easily.

  • 8.“Pharmacy" question type
    • Similar to the medications question type, the office can add the pharmacy question type to intakes and visit notes so the client or provider can confirm the client’s preferred pharmacy. Prevents manual entry.
