Patient Flag Alerts can be set up so that designated flags will pop up for patients or appointments that have been assigned those flags.
For example, if the patient has a balance due, you can set it up so that a Balance Due flag pops up for the patient.

How do I add a patient flag to an appointment?
To set up Patient Flag Alerts, go to Patients > Patient Flags.
You can add the alert to existing flags or when you create a new flag. Simply check the Alert Flag checkbox when you create a new flag or edit an existing one. Click Save/Create to finish.
The flags you have set for alerts will appear when you schedule an appointment after you enter and select the patient.
The alerts will also appear when you go to a patient's chart.
When you have an appointment flag with an alert tied to it, it will appear when you click on the appointment.
To remove the alerts for the patient, you can archive the flag for the patient or appointment in the patient's chart or in the appointment window.
Under the Audit Log (Clinical > Audit Log), you can view where the pop-up flag alert was accessed and that it was acknowledged when the user clicked the Okay button.
