Patient Appointments Page

Feature #34136 – Run Historic Eligibility on Patient Past Visits

Summary

This enhancement to Patient Appointments Page introduces the ability to run Historic Eligibility on insurances within the Patient Portal, just as supported in the RIS Client.

Background

Previously, when a patient scheduled an appointment within the portal, they were required to manually input their insurance information in each time. Concurrently, Historic Eligibility was limited to the eRAD RIS system.

Feature Description

Upon reaching the insurance step in the scheduling process, the patient will encounter a Review Previous Insurance Options dialog, enabling them to proceed with prepopulated insurance information from past visits.

If the insurance is correct on the dialog, selecting YES will prepopulate the insurance data into the Insurance screen. If NO is selected, the patient will be directed back to the Insurance screen allowing manual input for their desired insurance. Additionally, they can move forward with Self-Pay or Workers' Comp & Personal Injury if needed.

If the patient does not have history of previous insurances, the scheduling workflow and insurance screen will be unchanged as historic eligibility cannot be run without past data.
