Create and Use Eligibility Groups

DrChrono added enhancements to the Real Time Eligibility (RTE) feature to help your office efficiently check your patient's eligibility by grouping like statuses.

Create Eligibility Groups

First, you need to create applicable eligibility groups for your practice.

1. Select Account > Custom Fields.
2. Select Eligibility Groups from the column on the left.
3. Select Create Group.

4. Fill in a name for your new eligibility group.
5. Select the statuses you would like to be returned for this group when eligibility checks are returned.

Here is an example of a group that shows patients who will owe a copay for their appointment.

Use Eligibility Groups

1. Select Schedule > Eligibility Dashboard
2. Select the provider/office/appointment date as desired.
3. Select the eligibility group from the dropdown box on the right of the screen.  

4. Select Run Eligibility.

The patients who meet the criteria you selected appear.  You can export the report by selecting Export to CSV on the right of the screen.  The report is available in your message center.
