In the account module before a claim goes out it is RED, and once received it goes ORANGE. I noticed that when I reprint a claim it goes back to RED. I have 100 procedures to reprint is there a way to prevent this status change or if it does change, is there a method to revert them back without doin...

Your graphics settings are likely causing the crash. On a workstation that is operational, perform the following steps: 1. Go to Setup > Advanced Setup > Computers 2. Highlight the computer that is not working 3. Click 'Use Simple Graphics' That should resolve the issue. Please clarify. Go into Win...

Thanks. The permissions worked. On to another workstation.

Recently, changed out to a newer workstation and Open Dental has been working fine. But, for some reason recently,it keeps asking for the database location and have to enter it in in order to start it. On all the other WS, there is no issues. Any way to keep the database location without having to r...

thank you worked.

Just added another provider to OD, but the production numbers in Appt module under the pull down on the right side is not adding up correctly. If I change the provider for some patients to the either one of the first or second providers the production numbers come up correctly. Suggestions for fixin...

There are so many good remote access options that a web-based version of OD is low on the priority list. However, we are pushing heavily on web services like patient portal, backups, mobile, text messaging, email reminders with a confirmation button, electronic Rx, passing info to and from regional...

How's your progress on this? I'd love to see how yours turned out.

anyone get this online forms working and importing into opendental? just like to hear how smooth its been working as I already have medictalk not sure worth spending time to change.

and what is the level of security that this has?

Is there a compatibility issue with Acrobat Pro 8? And how screwed up is the conversion if that Livecycle is used? If I wanted to use the PatientInfo.pdf you have on your website, is this PDF editable, meaning can I add my own address and logo or do I have to start from scratch? Thanks.

articaine

Jordan, I've read the manual of setting this up. and have a few questions: 1. One needs Acrobat Pro to make the forms, so in Pro do not use LiveCycle? Does Acrobat Pro version 7 or 8 have the ability to build? 2. I need to creat this form myself? If so, I should be able to graphics in there as well?...

Awesome! What to do with Medictalk now. I guess its gonna get chucked sooner or later.

Jordan,

Is there any status change on capturing a patient's CC transaction via X-charge?

articaine

It's been almost 3 weeks since we set this X-charge up and don't know why but it will only allow one transaction on the particular workstation and then subsequent transactions we get a Connection error. Connection timed out. Although we like the intergration with OD, it seems this Xcharge has been f...

Jordan, yes we used that website and we confirmed that Emdeon received it. But, they also go on to say that it is Open Dental's fault for the insurance companies not receiving it. When questioned how the hell is that possible none of the agents could not go into it. Can you tell me what exactly Emde...

JClay I'll make everything rated "G" just for you.

Jordan, I'll look into that thanks...I'll watch my words.

In the past month or two we've been checking up on our claims status.

AWESOME!

Jordan,
This particular WACOM writes ink, as stated in the specifications, so I don't think it does. I plan on getting it and trying it out...let u know as soon as I get around to it. As for the signature capture in OD, is that in the works?

1. any reason why one can't capture a signature on X-Charge ?? 2. possible to get a bridge to other signature devices? like XDR bridges to OD (not sure who made this bridge) 3. it also seems one can sign a chart, TP, or consent with a mouse then one should be able to use the WACOM Intuos Inking Pen ...

Any ideas on whether Windows 7 will be a problem with Open Dental? I recall when Vista just came out there was some issue...just can't remember. I have XP Pro at the office but plan on having 7 on my laptop at home.

Great info to know. Now, if I go in there an make a MISC NEG ADJUSTMENT it does not seem to tie in with the Appt Module, in that, in the Appt Module when the cursor hoovers over the patient the production amount is still there and also in the chart it's still there. I presume that one has to go in t...

articaine

In OD, what is the difference between write off vs adjustment. Meaning, if I zero out a procedure off the bat in the treatment plan that would be considered an adjustment? And when payments are posted, whether by insurance or patient payment, the difference is not collected then OD considers that a ...

Tablet PC costs more, no? Yeah, having two different signature pads a pain. Will make feature request.

articaine

Is there a way to get OD to support patient sign in at time of appointment?

articaine

OK, got it. Messed around with the settings and got it the way I want it.

articaine

Yes, the "Edit All Timecards" in the list of permissions, if I uncheck that then employees can't clock in.

articaine

What is 'global lock by date' and how does that work? If I uncheck time cards, it seems that my staff can't clock in. How do i give them access and still have them clock in?

What Permissions are being set for your office staff in the Security setup? ie front desk who posts payments, etc., back office asst?

how many changes can the new year's code have? is there a quick and easy way to update these?

articaine

When one goes to the perio chart after #1 has been checked off as missing in the chart module, it doesn't move to next present tooth. You always have to move it from the #1 tooth column to the #2 column to start charting. This is a bug, no?

articaine

What about Demand Force? DentalSenders...yeah, not sure what to think about this. If you can't get a hold of someone there, then what the hell?!!!

articaine

Accidently, under edit patient window, "note" was selected under primary provider. This caused a claim filed under "NOTE" as the promary provider.

articaine

What exactly does this mean?

Deposit start date reset. <--- I get this almost everytime I run the Data base Maintenance

Warning! Hidden provider NOTE has claim payments entered as recently as 08/22/2008. This data will be missing on income reports. <--- How about this?

articaine

i'd like it sticky. is there a way to do that?

articaine

I would uncheck the email in the "show" tab in the chart module and once I close the program and restart it, that check mark is back again on the email square. Is that how it's supposed to be?

using 5.7.18

articaine

In previous versions of OD, there was never an issue with getting rid of/hiding 'EMAIL' from the Chart Module. But, in the most current version, nothing is hiding the emails being sent to patients in the Chart module. I've unchecked emails in the 'Show' tab What gives?

What exactly does this database maintenance do? One item I see alot is "Deposit Start date reset" and something about "claims error...deleted" does this delete the claim?

When in logmein, goto the options setting in the upper right corner and play with the quality/speed function. I don't seem to be able to replicate that problem on my laptop and mine is from 2002. Possible graphics card issue.

are in update 5.6.22? not listed on the open-dent.com website or is it?

Is there a reason you are putting a Z in front of Watch? Is that to put that procedure at the end of the list of procedures?

already spoke with Nathan, he said possible bug fix? but he did mention the downloading of the database, I shall call again.

Is there a way to correct this? If one goes to the procedure list to view the Standard fees and want to compare it to two other insurance fees, I receive an error. What to do?

Is there a quicker way to see what future appts a patient has besides going to the Chart Module and clearing all that 's checked off and rechecking Appointments in the Object Types?

You beat me to the post. I ran all different printing modes and looks like it is the printing of the TP. Thanks.

Yes, I've done that at all workstations that require printing, mainly the front office. I'm using 5.5.11. Called support, and they said it's a bug, but this was never a problem before.

Everything I print, except the perio chart is going to the default printer.

You know, we've been doing it exacting the way Jordan stated. But, I do think it could be presented differently, especially when one needs to show patients what their insurance pays, what the patient pays, and any amount not covered is paid via Care Credit or Citihealth.

articaine

Jordan,

Nice new features on the 5.0. One thing I noticed with the chart module is now one has to goto the TABs to get to the "planned appointments" and "show" seems like another click in 5.0 vs the former.
