External Documents

The WebPT EMR features an External Documents tool that can be used to upload clinic files to a specific location. You have the ability to scan or upload files directly into the system. This is a convenient place to store any templates your clinic has created or safely store other clinic documents you may need in case of a disaster such as a fire or weather incident. 

These might include:

• Patient Intake forms
• HIPAA Acknowledgement Agreement
• Medicare ABN
• No-Show/Cancellation Policy
• Proof of purchase equipment invoices or photos
