Can anyone help me know what I have to do to have the custom query create the pop up that asks the user to input the dates instead of going in and manually changing the code each time?

I am using 14.3.17.0

cheroxy

I have created a few recalls for codes like implants and root canals to do a followup visit. I just noticed that the recall is triggered when the code was entered as "existing other" treatment. Is there a way to make this only show up for treatment done? If not, I think the best option would be to m...

cheroxy

OK, I'll add that to the list for sure

cheroxy

Thanks Arna. I have a lot of different recalls set up to remind us to do things like endo 6 month post op or even botox that we do here in our office, but I only use the email for the prophy/perio recalls because it looks to me like you can't change the email when you do "mass emails" like that. I c...

I am currently talking with a freelance coder to write a plug in that would send an email to people with a specific procedure code each day (a made up code that we use to followup with patients that had larger procedures done). Remembering that the new version will have email made me wonder if that ...

My chiropractor office downstairs below me does this and I have people ask all the time. Its funny how people WANT to check in. We've been programmed to sign in or do something. We haven't done that because of the pictures we put in everyone's chart. We periodically give them a health history update...

cheroxy

Yeah, I was thinking the second. Just a list of questions they check yes or no and if they check yes they can enter text to explain.

cheroxy

Is anyone out there doing anything for checking in patients other than bringing up their specific documents on a terminal? It would be nice to have the patient be able to type their name to bring up a sheet where they can click boxes or type info for health history updates, etc. That way we don't ha...

I am trying to systematize my office as much as I can to help keep things falling through the cracks. I think the automation feature in OD is amazing and can help with this a ton. It seems like it is fairly hindered though in not allowing automation to be triggered by more things. Is there any plan ...

I'm still tweaking that because I made these only a couple of weeks ago, here here are my two TMJ exam sheets for extensive evaluations.

I use implant paint type. It shows behind the teeth a little. If we ever see implants under teeth on the chart we know that is gum graft area. That way we don't have to draw it in every time.

cheroxy

...and how often do you have to manually do them in your office?

cheroxy

I know this thread is a little old, but I am wondering what everyone does for secondary insurance and ortho payments? Both of these occur from a few weeks to a few months after the fact and if doing a lot of either then there are a lot of times you would have to make adjustments. I like keeping my l...

cheroxy

That worked. I wanted a search to determine the number of patients that I have with appointments for my accountants evaluation of our practice. This will now give me that!

It looks like if a person doesn't have an insurance company the report should show "No Insurance" but it doesn't include them in the report. Am I reading this incorrectly? Code below. Also, query 290 returns a bug w/o any editing. /* 247 List of patients with appointments for a date range (in future...

I have always used Auto Notes to put in a template on my periodic exam and bitewing codes that I tweak up now and then. I'm trying to make my flow more efficient as my startup gets busier. I am wondering if I could streamline some duplication of information. For example, if a person has a DO on 5 an...

cheroxy

No worries, I'll cast my vote.

cheroxy

Will do!

cheroxy

Thanks. I'll think about that. I was considering adding in Demand Force, but with the recall system OD has the only things that I don't get already are images in emails and Req#728. How do I go about paying for it, just pledge? A couple of months of Demand Force payments would be easy to fork over f...

cheroxy

Is it possible to write HTML in your email templates and have that process correctly when run through gmail coming from OD? The only way I can think of adding any pictures or anything is to do it via the signature setting in Gmail. Any advice?
Thanks

I have version 12.3.20.0. I did compile it myself. I have complied a few before with no errors.

cheroxy

I'm getting two errors that seems to deal with the CDT.dll file. Did that change in the 12.3 version? Error 1 when an insurance doesn't have a fee listed in their fee schedule it used to default to our standard fee schedule. Now, it just leaves it as zero. Error 2 claim printing error. I get the fol...

Thanks, that will be much appreciated

Is it possible to change the width of the description column in the procedure codes window? I see how to change other areas with Setup/Display Fields, but don't see any way to access the parameters for this window.
Thanks

cheroxy

This is the best work around I came up with, but it also shows people that are scheduled for pano recall, but just haven't had it done yet. /* List of patients with exam but without pano*/ SELECT p.LName, p.FName FROM patient p INNER JOIN patient g ON p.guarantor=g.PatNum INNER JOIN procedurelog pco...

I have a few procedures set up in the recall system which is awesome! I want to do a query where I can see who hasn't had some of these set up, but don't know how to call for this in the query since it is a custom recall? For example, one is a recall for health history updates, a non-ADA code I crea...

cheroxy

I searched through the queries and couldn't find one for a list of people that don't have a specific recall scheduled. I think this would be helpful to see which people we've never put on pano recall. Anyone know of another way to do it that is already built in? I'd also like to do the same for pati...

cheroxy

That would be for incoming images. This is just outgoing

cheroxy

I see that req# 429 is for allowing html email. I would like to request the feature of sending images as part of the email body and not just attachments. I assume the HTML feature would take care of this, if not I'll add my request.
Thanks

I use syncback instead of Karen's. Karens would mess up my jpg's and takes forever! Try the free version of syncback for much better accuracy and speed.

cheroxy

Thanks Drtech :D I redid her txp with the new info and now two things seem to be incorrect. As you can see, her pri deductible was applied at $50, but it only lowered her primary coverage $25 instead of $50 for that first crown where the deductible is applied. Why only $25? Also, on the filling...th...

I don't think I set up my insurances correctly when I started a year and a half ago. I recently got a new front office person and have been training her and therefore paying more attention to what I have set up. My crown fee is $1110. With the following patient, they are on a Delta Dental PPO plan a...

What do most of you guys use as your lock date? 2 days, 1 month ago, 6 months ago...? Curious to see the variability out there.

cheroxy

Sorry for this long post. I'm trying to implement some better security settings for the office and it can be a little hard to wrap my head around all of this. I searched for this subject and there weren't a lot of posts talking about it so hopefully it can help others out as well. Obviously the easi...

cheroxy

Glad to hear its not intended.

cheroxy

Is that preferred to have to re-uncheck those every time OD restarts? We have always been annoyed by that since we restart our server each week.

cheroxy

Re: my earlier post and your first item. Do you just look at the report for the insurance payments and know if tx was recently done rather than 2-3 weeks ago or however long it takes for your insurance check to arrive? That would be pretty hard for me.

cheroxy

Maybe have the person who enters insurance adjustments do it only on a specific day or something, then track that time so if anything happens outside of that window it would be an obvious red flag. Just one thought.

cheroxy

I did mean cash, thanks. I could see the following scenario pretty easily happening and easy to miss... Patient has 100 balance that they owe They come in and pay it with cash Staff pockets the cash and enters a 100 insurance write off to clear the account Dr. doesn't verify all the statements from ...

cheroxy

Opendental has a write off report that is very good, and should be checked daily. How do you verify that report? It seems too easy for someone to pocket some cash paid by a pt to finish their balance and then do an insurance write off. The only way apparent to me to avoid that would be to check eac...

I'll give you guys a call. I do have my pay periods set up, but maybe they are wrong.

cheroxy

Is there a way to get the pay period to default to show the current one instead of the beginning of the year when a time card is brought up? It is a pain to click forward every pay period to the week we are on instead of having it start there and be able to move back or forward as needed. If not, I'...

I don't see any use of the tooth numbering when I label an intraoral picture. When I import the image and add the tooth number I it doesn't show up in the image module next to the date unless I put it in the notes for that image. I would expect it to show next to the date without adding it to the no...

cheroxy

Is it possible to run a report of the following or have it show up somewhere else...? Most of the insurances in our area cover pano ever three years and sealants every 2 or 3 years. I would love to have someway of knowing what patients that are scheduled for that day are due for what periodic proced...

Jordan,
Great news. I assume when I do my setup in a couple months that I can get that network info through tech support if it isn't in the manual yet.

Anyone else have any ideas about the other questions?

Thanks!

I read back a couple of years on the posts about hardware and have a couple questions... Many people said that you don't need a dedicated server, just get a good desktop and use it as a server for 10 computers or less. Can you do more than 10? If not is that b/c it starts to be too much data for a n...

You're forgetting a con for #1. We don't have custom mounts. So how are you going to arrange 4BW? I assume then that you agree with all the other pros/cons... Good point though.

cheroxy

I wouldn't switch either, not worth the hassle, but when you're not already tied into one...which way would you go?

cheroxy

So, as a startup I have to consider that ES is free, at least the front desk portion. You get the rest free if you buy xray sensors, which I am planning on doing, so it will all be free. With that in mind, what is to keep me from doing ES now and still go w/ OD? I have only used ES a little and mess...

Regarding cleaning the camera: I wrap the camera in Saranwrap as a barrier.

Sorry about the repost, but as you know a few posts were lost buy the site host and I never got back to read the replies before it was gone.

So...any plans to add an rss feed to this blog or is there one already available by chance?
