🌟 New features
Allergies, problems, and imaging orders
We're excited to announce significant enhancements that improve how you capture and share patient information—while keeping you compliant with the latest healthcare standards.
What's new
Enhanced allergy documentation
Your allergy records just got smarter. We've added new verification status options and standardized coding to ensure critical allergy information transfers seamlessly when you share records with other providers. Better documentation means better patient safety.
Improved Problem List management
Document patient problems with greater precision using new status options (like "recurrence," "remission," and "relapse") and verification statuses. Plus, the system now automatically identifies Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) diagnoses, helping you paint a more complete picture of your patients' health needs.
Imaging and diagnostic data
Imaging and diagnostic study data is now aligned with USCDI v3 standards, improving consistency and interoperability. These updates happen automatically and help support more complete clinical records, reporting, and continuity of care—without disrupting existing workflows.
Why it matters
✅ Seamless data sharing with hospitals, specialists, and health systems
✅ Regulatory compliance built right in
✅ More complete patient records that support better clinical decisions

No Show Predictor
No Show Predictor uses AI-powered insights to assign a risk score to each upcoming appointment, helping your practice identify which visits are most likely to no-show. These scores are displayed directly in the No Show Predictor widget on the Dashboard, giving your team clear visibility and the opportunity to take proactive action before appointments are missed.
Enable No Show Predictor
To enable No Show Predictor, go to Account > Account Settings > General, and select the Enable No Show Predictor checkbox. Once you've turned on the feature, you can add the No Show Predictor widget to your Dashboard view.
Key benefits
- 💸 Reduce lost revenue: Minimize empty appointment slots by identifying and addressing high-risk appointments.
- 🩺 Improve care continuity: Ensure patients receive timely care by identifying those most likely to miss visits.
- ⏱️ Optimize staff efficiency: Focus outreach where it matters most instead of calling every patient.
- 📲 Boost patient engagement: Use personalized reminders or rescheduling strategies for at-risk patients.
📅 Feature rollout will begin on January 28, with full availability by February 2.

Billing summary enhancements
The Billing Summary report provides a clear overview of key performance metrics across monthly, quarterly, and yearly timeframes. It includes measures such as Clean Claim Rate, Net Collection Rate, Initial Denial Rate, Denial Rate (in dollars), Average Total Days for Payment, Charge Lag, Send Lag, and Payment Lag. A dynamic bar chart also allows you to compare charges and payments for the selected period.
Payment Waterfall report
The Payment Waterfall report provides a detailed view of how payments are collected over time following charge generation. This enhancement helps providers assess cash flow timing, monitor payment behavior, and identify trends in reimbursement by visualizing payments by month and quarter. With filtering, drill-down, and export capabilities, users can easily analyze payment performance across providers, offices, and payers.
💡Enhancements
New form creation
When creating a new clinical form, the Edit Form Info window will now open automatically. This allows users to quickly update the form name, CCDA Clinical Note Type, tags, and optionally set all sections to SOAP right away.
What’s improved
- Fewer clicks when creating a new form
- Users are immediately prompted to review and update form details
What hasn’t changed
The Edit Form Info window will not open automatically when editing an existing form.
ePA submission flexibility
Users can now submit electronic prior authorizations (ePA) through CoverMyMeds without entering eligibility details (BIN, PCN, or Payer Name upfront). If this information is missing, CoverMyMeds will prompt for it later in the authorization flow, helping prevent errors and reducing workflow interruptions.

Improved scrolling in form builder
Scrolling in the Form Builder has been improved so that forms with a large number of fields now load smoothly and continuously, preventing blank areas while navigating long lists.
New workers’ compensation payers added
We’ve added additional Workers’ Compensation payers to the DrChrono system to support Carisk Partners:
- Marquee/Amerisys c/o Everest — Payer ID MRQ001
- Insure Max — Payer ID A0028
Unmatched ERA screen
We have optimized the Unmatched ERA Screen that will allow up to 5,000 rows to load and be viewable onscreen. When exporting, all records will be exported.
Edit provider email addresses from the Staff Members page
We added an Edit button on the Providers tab of the Staff Members page, allowing practice administrators to update a provider’s email address directly from this page.
📖 Change DrChrono Account Email Addresses

We enhanced the DrChrono footer to provide quicker access to key information and resources, improving navigation and support visibility.
Customer benefits
- Faster access to support, documentation, and product updates.
- More self-service options directly within the application.
- Quicker support interactions with readily available Practice Group ID and Support PIN.

Updated "Doctor" to "Provider" in DrChrono
We updated all instances of the term “Doctor” to “Provider” across the entire DrChrono application, including field names, labels, descriptions, documentation, and user interfaces. This change ensures the platform accurately represents the full range of healthcare professionals who use the system.
Appointment reminder time zone source
You can choose how time zones are applied to the content of appointment reminders at both the practice group and provider level. To set the time zone source for a practice group, open a support case. Individual providers can set their own preferences directly in Account Settings.
📖 Time Zones in Appointment Reminders
Break appointment type improvements
We simplified how break appointments work to make scheduling easier. When you select Break as the appointment type, the Arrange a Follow-up Reminder checkbox is no longer shown, since reminders aren’t needed for breaks. To support recurring breaks on the calendar, the Recurring Appointment option remains available, giving front office staff a clear and straightforward way to schedule them.
🐞Resolutions
Validation for multi-select fields
The Form Builder now prevents duplicate options in multi-select fields. If duplicate values are detected, users will see a clear message listing the duplicates and will be unable to save changes until the duplicates are removed, helping ensure cleaner and more accurate form.
Improved Accuracy and Validation in Clinical Notes
Clinical notes now only display information for fields that have valid, selected values. If a previously used value is no longer available, it will be clearly highlighted with a warning, and users must resolve the issue before signing and locking the note, helping ensure notes are accurate and complete.
📖 Clinical Note Field Display and Form Builder Values
📅 Feature rollout will begin on February 3, with full availability by February 24.
Search enrolled payers first account setting
We have fixed an issue that displayed all payers under the insurance lookup and did not respect the Search enrolled payers first account setting.
Fee schedule not loading
We have fixed a bug that was preventing fee schedules from loading.
Fax usage improvements
The fax usage shown in the Usage tab in Account Settings now correctly reflects the total number of billable fax pages, including both inbound and outbound pages. We also removed included units and calculated charges to make the report clearer and easier to understand.
Dashboard access for staff users
We fixed an issue where some staff users received an error when accessing the Dashboard. Staff users can now log in and access the Dashboard as expected.
Archived task category improvements
We fixed an issue where archived task categories didn't appear in the category edit view but were still available in a task’s Category dropdown. Archived categories are now removed from the dropdown, helping ensure users only select active and valid task categories.
Duplicate referring sources in patient chart
We fixed an issue where duplicate referring sources appeared in the patient chart. Referring sources now appear only once, making patient information clearer and easier to review.
City field saving issue in patient chart
We fixed an issue where the city associated with ZIP code 55446 didn't persist after being updated and could revert when other fields, such as the phone number, were edited. The city field now consistently saves and shows the user-entered value (for example, Plymouth). We also moved the ZIP code field to the left so it’s filled in before the city.
Problem Report loading improvements
We fixed an issue where the Problem Report failed to generate. The default date range now loads the last 30 days, filters and pagination work correctly, search returns accurate results, and exports match the displayed data. You can now generate, view, and export reports reliably and efficiently.
Assigned primary provider in appointments
We fixed an issue where scheduling an appointment from a patient chart incorrectly populated the staff member's primary provider as the patient's primary provider. Patients are now automatically assigned to their primary provider as expected.
Documents upload
The Added By column in the Documents tab now correctly shows the name of the user who uploaded the document. Previously, documents uploaded by staff or other non-provider users were incorrectly attributed to a provider.
EHI export reliability improvement
We’ve fixed an issue that was causing EHI exports to fail due to timeouts. As part of this improvement, race and ethnicity subcategory data is now delivered in separate, clearly labeled files instead of being bundled into the main patients file.
What’s changed
The EHI export now completes successfully without timing out.
Two new files are included in the patients folder:
race_subcategories_1.csvethnicity_subcategories_1.csv
Race and ethnicity subcategory details have been removed from
patients.csvto improve performance and reliability.
