Improvements to month end

·        New task buttons were added to the Reports and Tasks Scheduler dialog box for easier access to run, suspend, resume, edit, and delete scheduled tasks.

·        Month End will always run at the selected time.

·        The Month End dialog box was added to the Reports and Tasks Scheduler dialog box, so you can run Month End with a single mouse click.

·        Warning and success icons were added to the Reports and Tasks Scheduler dialog box, so you can quickly determine which reports may need to be rerun.

·        A warning appears if any reports could not run because of a problem. A reminder of the warning appears once a day.

·        You can now use the new Open Modules dialog box to check for any open Dentrix modules.

Appointment Book

·        You can now use the Open Office option in the Schedule Calendar for Practice dialog box to open the office on a day that the office is usually closed.

Improvements to ERA (eEOB)

·        A column (Sec) was added to the Batch Insurance Payment Entry dialog box to indicate that a patient has secondary insurance.

·        Descriptions of insurance payments in the Ledger are now more descriptive (Electronic, Check, or Credit Card).

·        The eEOB full and split payment amounts are displayed for multi-site offices having the same Tax Identification Number (TIN).

Note: This feature is available on request. Please contact Henry Schein One Customer Support to enable this feature.

Update Manager

Miscellaneous

·        The eServices Eligibility Check icon (E) now opens your default browser instead of Internet Explorer only.

·        Updates to the Totals records are less likely to be interrupted when you run month end and other processes, thus reducing or eliminating the need to run the recalculation utility.

·        The Lane 3000 payment device now supports EMV chip and PIN; EMV chip and magstripe transactions; and an extensive range of contactless NFC, mobile wallet, and alternative payment methods.

What's changed?

The list below contains the fixes and changes that have been included in the Dentrix G7.5 release:

Ledger

·        The Adj Amt column in the Provider Amounts for Write-Off dialog box did not display correctly. This has been fixed.

·        The Insured ID number was missing from the HTML version of the ERA for some patients. This has been fixed.

·        The patient’s name instead of the subscriber’s appeared in the Subscriber Name column in the Batch Insurance Payment Entry dialog box. This has been fixed.

Office Manager

·        When printed, the status of reports was incorrectly set to Schd-1 causing printing issues. This has been fixed.

Patient Chart

·        If a treatment-planned procedure with two lab fees is set complete, the second lab fee was incorrectly added to the procedure cost. This has been fixed.
