4th of July Special!

We are running the 4th of July Special and I have a copy of the ad up front. New or existing pt's are able to receive a consultation, exam, testing, and any necessary x-rays for only $17.76- to be paid at the time of service. This is a one visit deal. After that the pt will be required to either pay regular cash rates or go through insurance. If the pt wants the initial visit to also be submitted to insurance, they have the option to receive an hour massage instead for only $17.76. This special runs July 1-July 15.

Maternity Leave

I have decided to make July 19th my last day. If all goes well, I plan on picking up my Saturday hours again as soon as possible. Otherwise, I should be back in about six weeks. In the event that I go a little early, I have a massage scheduled on Tuesday, July 22nd that would need to be canceled. Thank You Everyone!!! ~April

health pass 2

For now, every new patient will be getting 1 business card and 2 health passes in their ROT folder. They will also be getting one of the health pass cards for themselves (ie each new pt receives a 1/2 hr massage).

health pass

Everyone is to hand out 3 health passes to 5 patients or other folks outside of the clinic during out health pass week. Please put a 30 day expiration date on each card you hand out as well as your initials. thanks, pam

Same Patient Name

We now have 2 patients with the name Karen M. Anderson. The newest one is differentiated in Medisoft with an (83) after Anderson. This is for the year she was born. The other one was born in 68. PLEASE make sure you are getting the correct one. If possible, verify birthdate and write it on the fee slip so I make sure I am entering the charges for the correct one-ohtherwise we will have a mess with insurance if the wrong one gets entered. Please see me with any questions.

Also, for any updates (longer than say, 6 months) please make sure you are verifying their address, phone and insurance so I can make sure Medisoft is up to date.

Thanks
Kathy

NEW PATIENT INSURANCE INFO

When new patients come and and you copy their insurance card, PLEASE check to make sure all the numbers are ledgible and are not cut off. Also, check to see if there is an ID number on the card- if not, please make sure to get the subscribers social security number. Ask the patient if they are the card holder or if it the spouse/parent. Whoever is the card holder, we need to get their ssn.
Thanks

MASSAGE ONLY PATIENTS

Just a reminder that if someone is coming in only for massage, please do not set them up with a file in Medisoft. They are put under a generic CASH account, that way they are not taking up space in Medisoft, and it is easier to keep track of them. I will put them in Medisoft if/when they become a chiropractic patient.
Thanks
Kathy

New Patients

Just a reminder for everyone to write new patients down on the pink form at the front desk. Also, remember to add the referral information. It really helps when I go to do the numbers. Thanks, Pam

Nutritionals

Whenever you sell any nutritionals, PLEASE make sure to break it down on the fee slip of how much is for the product and how much is for tax.
Thanks
Kathy

Receipts

Per SK- Please make sure you write up a receipt for ALL cash transactions- whether or not the patient wants one. It is our only method of tracking cash payments.
Thanks :)

NEW FORMS

FYI-
There are now new forms to use for:

Request for Information....from other clinics
Release of Information.......to other clinics

There are separate files for these in the drawer, and they can replace the old 1/2 sheet forms used in the past.

Kathy

New Patients

Just a reminder: When we get new patients, please send the entire new patient file back to Kathy with the fee slip. I will enter the patient and give the file to the appropriate dr.
Thanks :)

Aetna and HSM

If an Aetna insurance card has "Indemnity" or "Traditional" on it (it will be clearly stated) it is NOT under HSM. If one of the two words is NOT on the insurance card, it is managed through HSM and will require the appropriate PA based on time/visits. See Judy Machal's card for example of HSM managed Aetna card.

Verified Credentials hours

Since things aren't moving the direction I want them, I have decided to change my hours there. I will no longer be blocked out on Wed mornings - I'll be here available to see patients starting this week. Additionally, on Monday's I will be open to see patients from 2:00 to 3:20, and I will go to VC after that for the end of the day. I will keep my Friday the same.
