Search by Patient ID

The Patient Search uses the Patient ID field (formerly known as the Patient Number) to display patients by:

• WebPT Patient ID (auto-assigned on patient creation)
• Alternate Patient IDs
• WebPT Billing Patient ID

This makes it easier to access patient records throughout your clinic without exposing PHI.

WebPT Patient ID

• View the Patient's WebPT ID or Alterative ID (if added) in the patient chart.       
  • WebPT EMR ID: Displays if no Alternate ID is added.
  • Alternate ID: Displays by default, if added.

  The Alternate Patient ID can be added from the Identifications tab on the Patient Info window. Additionally, some inbound patient integrations automatically create an Alternate Patient ID. You can also search for Alternative Patient IDs using the Patient ID search field.

• When viewing the patient’s record page, you can locate the WebPT Patient ID by looking at the end of the patient record address string in your web browser.
• You'll also be able to see the WebPT Patient ID in Patient Search results.

• In SOAP 2.0, you’ll also see the WebPT Patient ID in parenthesis next to the Patient Name when viewing the patient record.

WebPT Billing Patient ID

You can search for a patient using their WebPT Billing Patient ID in the WebPT EMR through the Patient ID field.
