New Insurance ID Formats

You can now select ?(9) or ?(15) for the Authorization Number Format, Insurance ID Format, and Group Number Format when setting up Carrier Rules for insurance plans.

Updates to How the Scheduling Manager API Determines Appointment Duration

How the appointment duration displays when using the Scheduling Manager (API) is now based on the following hierarchy:

  • Template Duration

  • Service Type Duration

  • Office (Employee minutes, per Office, per Day) Duration

  • Employee Duration

  • Default Duration (15 minutes).

The system looks for the duration setting starting with Service Type and working down through the hierarchy until the duration is found.

For example: If creating an appointment for the provider Marcus Welby, to determine the appointment duration the system looks at:

  • the template – no template or duration is not defined

  • the service type – no service type or duration is not defined

  • the office – appointment duration not defined

  • the employee – duration of 20 minutes is defined for Marcus Welby. The system uses the 20 minute duration.

POS Enhancements

POS includes enhancements in the following area:

Edit or Delete Subscriber/Responsible Party SSN

You can now edit or delete the Subscriber/Responsible Party SSN on the Insurance tab in patient profiles.

Updated Scheduling Manager API Hierarchy
