Add Patient: Case

A new case should be created when:

• The patient changes insurance mid-treatment (this may occur at the New Year).
• The patient develops a newly diagnosed, untreated condition
• The patient returns to therapy after discharge with complaints similar to those treated previously
• The patient needs an Orthosis Fabrication

Required Fields

• Place of Service (default varies based on the Clinic Settings)
• Related (Selection may impact available fields in the documentation. Read about accident-related causes, here.)

Tips & Tricks

For better analytical data, it is recommended that you make the following fields required:

• Primary Treatment Clinic
• Marketing Referral Contact

Use the Additional Info section to indicate important notes that conveniently appear in the main area of that case’s Records page.

Auth Req Field: When marked Yes, follow the system prompts to enter the additional authorization information after the case details are completed, specifically insurance, auth visits, start and end dates. It is recommended to include the authorization #. 

Record Prescription Field: When marked Yes, the system prompts for additional information after the case details are completed, specifically start and end date, number of visits, frequency, duration, and alert options. 

Apply Modifier Field: Medicare threshold will be displayed on both the patient chart and scheduled appointments; both sides of the office will have access and visibility to the Medicare threshold and the system turns the threshold amount red when the amount reaches $200. 

If the KX modifier is needed, you’ll need to select the KX radio button from the Apply Modifier section. The modifier is solely controlled by this field; reaching or passing the threshold amount will not activate the modifier.

ABN (advanced beneficiary notice form): Access PDF to print and provide to the patient.
