Eligibility Pro Enhancements
- If they are applicable, insurance plan provision details now appear under Provisions in a patient’s eligibility details documentation in the Document Center. If no plan provision details are provided by the patient’s insurance carrier, the phrase “No Information Provided” appears. A Ded Applies column was added to the eligibility details document to indicate whether a deductible applies to a procedure.
- An Import Progress indicator now appears in the lower-right of your screen when you import insurance benefit details.
- The import confirmation text was updated to account for all import cases.
- Setting up the Payer Connection Portal now requires fewer mouse clicks.
Miscellaneous Features
- An available updates indicator now appears next to Help in the menu bar and the Update Manager option in the Help menu in the Office Manager, the Appointment Book, and the Family File.
- You can now change the date filter in the Signature Manager.
- By default, the Signature Manager now sorts by date instead of patient ID.
- You can now change your password and set up security questions from any module by clicking the logged in user’s name and selecting the desired option from the menu.
- In the Clinical Notes panel, clinical notes created in the Signature Manager now include a time stamp indicating when they were created.
- The Update Manager window was modified to only show the most recent Dentrix update under Update(s) Available. Previous updates are listed under a new category called Older Update(s).
