Access All Appointment Fields on One Screen. Based on your feedback after a recent release, we have brought all of the appointment details back on a single screen. Instead of navigating across multiple tabs, users can now enter and update appointment information more quickly, and with fewer clicks.
This video and
screenshot will help your teams become familiar with the updated design.
Staff Portal
Redesign
Staff Portal: Stock Forms Now Available. Many stock forms available in ClinicTracker are now available in the Staff Portal. You can now access: Mental Health Treatment Plan, CD Screening Tools, Mental Health Summary Forms (Consultation Summary, Admission Note, Admission Summary, Transfer Summary, Discharge Summary), CALOCUS, CDLOCADTR, CD Initial Determination, CD Discharge Plan, and other rating scales. This update ensures that those who want to begin using the web-based Staff Portal can continue using the same forms they currently use in ClinicTracker today.
Staff Portal
New Feature
New Widgets with Multiple Views. The new "Messages: All" and "Patients: All" Widgets allow you to toggle through multiple different views (for example assigned patients, recent patients, etc.) in a single widget, using a category icon near the top right corner.
Staff Portal
Enhancement
Also Viewing/Editing Notification (Beta). You will see icons indicating when other users are viewing or editing the same record that you are accessing. This notification appears at the top of the left panel and helps teams avoid accidental overwrites or duplicate work. This enhancement helps support better coordination when multiple staff members are involved in a patient's care. If you are interested in Beta testing this feature, please let us know.
Staff Portal
New Feature
Remember Trusted Devices. You can now recognize a trusted device, which will reduce the frequency of needing to enter a Two-Factor Authentication code. An administrator can enable this feature by going to: Options > Security > Security > Two-Factor Authentication: Remember My Device For x Days. Enter a "1" to only require a 2FA code to be entered once per day.
Users will see a "Remember my Device" checkbox on the 2FA login screen, and can manage trusted devices from their Profile menu.
Staff Portal
New Feature
Easily Identify a Record Number. If you've ever wondered if you are working in the first, the sixth record, or if you are creating a new record, you will now have more clarity. The left panel of documentation records will show the record number of the current record out of the total number of records in the current phase. For example, #6 of 42.
Staff Portal
Enhancement
Access Two-Factor Authentication Backup Codes You can now generate and save a set of backup codes for your own use in case you are unable to access your SMS or email due to an outage, lost device, or other service interruption. To locate your backup codes in ClinicTracker, click the Profile link in the top right corner and choose Generate 2FA Backup Codes. Be sure to save or print the codes, as you won't be able to retrieve them later (although you can always generate new ones). In the Two-Factor login screen, you will see a new "Use Backup Code" button that will allow you to enter and authenticate using a backup code.
ClinicTracker
New Feature
Send Claim Attachments via BillingTracker. BillingTracker now supports sending claim attachments directly through the system. Users can upload administrative or clinical documents to accompany claims, helping support payer documentation requirements and improving claim processing workflows. Note: Print-and-mail options are available when required by the payor. Please reach out to ClinicTracker support if you are interested in enabling this new feature, or for pricing information to automatically send attachments through your clearinghouse.
BillingTracker
New Feature
Mark Claims Pending in Bulk. This feature allows users to quickly mark multiple transactions as Pending without creating a claim file. Transactions can be updated across multiple claims through Claim Management and within the patient's Billing Account via the Transactions tab.
To use the feature, navigate to Claim Management > Filter Queued Claims > Highlight multiple claims (left-click + Shift/Ctrl) > Right Click > Mark Selected as Pending.
To use the feature via the Billing Account: Open the Billing Account > Highlight the claim and click on the Transactions Tab > highlight multiple transactions > Right-click > Mark All Queued Transactions as Pending.
Note: This option will only appear for Queued transactions (not Pending, Canceled, or Reconciled).
BillingTracker
New Feature
Set a Default Payment Type. A Clinical Director in Nashville noticed that when taking payments, the method defaulted to "Check" and sometimes staff overlooked changing it to the proper type. She said it would help her if the default were blank. We love to help, so you can now set a default payment type to appear in the Collect Payment screens (either a specific type, or blank to force a selection). Go to Options > Admin > Administrative Settings: Default Payment Method on Collect Payment Screen.
BillingTracker
Enhancement
Prevent Transitioning Cancellation Fee by Payor. A new Insurer Plan setting allows users to prevent appointments that include a Cancellation Charge from being transitioned to BillingTracker. When enabled, appointments with an appointment status that includes a cancellation fee will not transition, preventing the patient from being billed. Enable this setting at: Insurer Plans > Requirements Tab > Prevent Transitioning Cancellation Fees.
BillingTracker
Enhancement
CPT Override Form – Excluded Patient List. The CPT Override Setup feature has been enhanced to allow users to exclude specific patients from a CPT override rule (rather than only including certain patients). This gives users more flexibility by allowing exceptions to a rule. When a patient is added to the Excluded Patient List, the CPT override rule will not apply to that patient. Navigate to BillingTracker > Settings > Overrides > CPT Overrides. Thank you to Viktoriya for sharing your suggestion so we could make this change!
