We have updated the field labels and placeholder text on the booking widget as well as the fields for signing up for the portal to make it more clear what information is needed. We also want to reduce the likelihood that a client would try to sign in with different names as well as making it easier for third-parties to understand whose info the form is asking for.

  • "Client's Name" was changed to "Name"

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.

This new dashboard widget will show you upcoming appointments where there is no card on file or the card on file will expire before the appointment date. Note that this does include appointments where the client has not completed their form.

If a practitioner has a custom CPT price on the service, it will carry forward to the superbill.

Product Updates for May 2023

1. RTF Formatting Options for Visit Notes

We added the option to add an RTF toolbar onto Open Answer Question Types that have answers with multiple lines.
To enable this, you will need to check the “Include Rich Text Formatting” for the question on the note template and the toolbar will show on the live note. The formatting will pass through to the PDF.

2. Third Party Contacts

You can add non-client contacts to a client from the client profile. This is helpful when the client has other people that need appointment reminders, a separate portal channel and to handle billing for the client. The most common scenario where this functionality would be useful is the child/parent scenario.

2. Provide a Way to Auto-Charge Invoices Updated by the ERA

For claims, when the ERA comes back and updates an invoice with a patient balance, instead of auto-charging the client due to possible errors from the payer, we have added a new filter for this scenario on Lists > Claims > Appointments > Payments Filter. Users would be able to filter, select all and do a Bulk Action to auto-charge those clients.

3. Total Income Financial Reporting Widget for the Dashboard

This shows total income by practitioner on the dashboard.
