โœจ Enhancements

Enhanced recurring events

We improved the Recurring Events page to provide a more complete, accurate, and flexible view of recurring schedules. These updates introduce new filters and improved data logic, making it easier to manage provider availability and breaks with confidence. We also added a Stop After Date label to the “stop” column to clarify how the stop date should be used.

What's new

  • Improved data source: The Recurring Events page now pulls data directly from schedule blocks and not only from appointments. 
    • Benefit: This ensures all recurring schedule items—including breaks—are accurately reflected.
  • Provider filter: New Provider filter to view recurring events for a specific provider.
  • Appointment Breaks filter: New Appointment Breaks filter to view schedule blocks that are designated as breaks.

Customer benefit

These updates help you find the recurring event they need to update more quickly by allowing you to search or filter by multiple parameters, rather than only by patient name as before. 

๐Ÿ“– Manage Recurring Events

Workers' Compensation payer

The following Workers' Compensation payers have been added to the system

  • Starr Insurance, payer ID STARR1
  • Everest Premier Insurance Company, with payer ID E4758

Editing forms with USCDI v3 fields

We’ve improved the experience when opening forms that contain USCDI v3 fields in the Legacy Form Builder.

If a form includes any of the following fields:

  • Clinical Test & Result
  • Planned Procedure
  • Pregnancy Status
  • Pregnancy Intent
  • Smoking Status

You will now see a pop-up message (modal) instead of an error. 

You will have two options:

Continue

  • You will be redirected to the Clinical Form Management screen.
  • The selected form will automatically open and be ready for editing.

Cancel 

  • The pop-up will close.
  • You will remain on the Legacy Form Builder screen.
  • The form will not open.
  • You can select another form to edit.

Forms containing any USCDI v3 fields cannot be opened or edited in the Legacy Form Builder.

AI claim rejection messages

For accounts using the ePS AI Rejection feature, the payer status file (277) responses may include both a standard rejection message and an AI-generated version.  We’ve enhanced the system to properly identify AI-generated messages, displaying them in blue. This update ensures rejection messages are presented consistently for a more streamlined workflow.

Customize remittance report screen

We have added the functionality to hide or display the ERA paid, Adjusted, and Patient Responsibility based on the individual user.

Free draw images 

You can control how large free draw images appear in clinical notes. Choose from:

  • Extra Small
  • Small
  • Medium
  • Large
  • Extra Large
  • Actual Size (original size, auto-scaled if too large)

๐Ÿž Resolutions

Patient search improvements

We resolved an issue where the patient search returned inaccurate results when patients had multiple names in one field. We enhanced support for patients with multiple first or last names (for example, two first names or two last names), ensuring accurate search results. These improvements make it faster and easier to find the correct patient record, reduce search frustration, and help teams work more efficiently and confidently without missing critical patient information.

Calendar date/time mismatch

There was a discrepancy between the appointment time shown in the Schedule module and the Calendar due to time zone changes. This issue has been resolved.

Fax usage report update

We identified and resolved an issue affecting the root data source of the fax usage report. This update corrects the data source configuration, and fax usage is now displaying accurately.

Improved scrolling in clinical notes multi-select fields

We fixed an issue where multi-select lists in Clinical Notes would scroll back to the top after each selection.

The list will now stay in your current position, making it easier to select multiple items without losing your place.

Missing insurance information error

When insurance information is added or updated in Patient Demographics, all open (unbilled) appointments within the active coverage date range will automatically reflect the latest insurance details. Appointments that have already been billed, submitted, or paid will not be changed. This update occurs seamlessly in the background and ensures accurate primary and secondary insurance assignment based on effective dates.

B11 denial code mapping issue

We fixed an issue that was listing and misrouting the denial code B11 (misrouted claim) as OAB11 (diagnosis inconsistent).  The denial will now list and route correctly based on the denial received from the payer.

Clinical note preview timeout fix 

We’ve improved how clinical note PDFs are generated to prevent timeout issues when previewing notes that contain large or multiple images.

What's Improved

  • Clinical note images will now be automatically compressed during PDF generation based on the free draw image size selected in Clinical Form Management.
  • Users should be able to preview notes with large or multiple images without encountering timeout errors.
  • This enhancement is to improve performance and reliability.

What to Expect

  • Notes with many or large images should now preview successfully.
  • If a note is unlocked and re-signed, the timestamp in the footer will update to reflect the most recent Sign & Lock action.

If You Still Experience Issues

  • When editing free draw fields in Clinical Form Management, select a smaller image size. The image resolution quality will not be impacted. 
  • Click Preview Note again to regenerate the PDF.

As part of this release, we are continuing our ongoing work to assess, monitor, and address any security vulnerabilities.

  • ๐Ÿท๏ธ Improved tag management for better organization
  • ๐Ÿ“ค Faster batch actions, including multi-document faxing
  • ๐Ÿงช Redesigned Labs section for easier navigation of requisitions and results.

Real-time claim submission via ePS

We’ve improved the claim submission process for ePS to provide faster turnaround times and greater reliability.  With this update, claims can now be submitted individually to the eProvider Solutions (ePS) clearinghouse through an integrated API endpoint—similar to our Real-Time Eligibility (RTE) process.  This enhancement allows each claim to be transmitted as soon as it reaches Billable status, significantly reducing submission delays.  This improvement ensures a smoother, more efficient claim submission experience and helps your practice receive responses from the clearinghouse much faster.
