Note: To learn about changes and fixes in this release, read the "What's changed?" section.
· You can now transfer patient/provider balances without affecting the aging of the account.
· You can view and adjust individual family member and family account balances by provider without changing views in the Ledger.
· You can now transfer balances from archived patients and inactive providers.
· Allocation (offsetting) balances are not itemized on walkout statements if you did not itemize them on billing statements.
· A password security option was added to the Allocate Credit Balances feature in the Ledger.
· You can now edit and/or delete offsetting adjustments to maintain the integrity of an account.
· When you delete an offsetting adjustment, you are notified that all offsetting adjustments for that day will be deleted before you can complete the deletion.
· When you edit an offsetting adjustment, the Allocate Credit Balances dialog box appears with all of the offsetting adjustments for the same day to ensure that any edit to an adjustment still results in a $0.00 balance.
· You can now split credit adjustments and discounts that use credit adjustments by patient and provider.
· You can now split discounts that use credit adjustments by patient and provider.
· You can use the new Provider Credit Balances Manager in the Ledger to find accounts and providers with credit balances and then to easily transfer those balances.
· You can also open the Allocate Credit Balances dialog box for the selected family to create offsetting adjustments to transfer any provider balances.
· When you archive a patient, patient provider balances are checked and, if found, are reported. Offsetting adjustments are displayed so you can transfer any balances before archiving the selected patient.
· The right to the "Patients, Archive" password security option will be removed during installation for those users who do not have rights to "Password Administration," so that you can grant the right to archive patients to only those staff members who you want to create offsetting adjustments.
· A new option (Require Referred By for new patients) was added to the Preferences dialog box. If you select this option, you must select a referral source before you can add a new patient appointment or create a new patient in the Family File.
· You can now select a referral source in the Patient Information dialog box also.
· An update feature was added to Smart Image. The update feature automatically checks for both required and optional updates to Smart Image. If an update is required, you receive a notification of the update automatically, and the Smart Image Auto Update dialog box appears from which you can download and install the update immediately or choose to be reminded later. You must check for optional updates manually.
· For future Dentrix updates, you can save time installing updates to workstations. Updates that you install to the Dentrix server will be installed automatically to each Dentrix workstation.
· You can now select multiple medical conditions, allergies, and medications in the Health History setup and change the critical, pop-up alert, or show on Questionnaires Forms status.
· You can change statuses for all patients who have the selected Health History items in their chart or in Health History setup.
The list below contains all of the fixes and changes that have been included in the Dentrix G7.3 Canada release.
· If you made a change to an appointment with its status set to “Complete,” the status changed to “None” instead of remaining as “Complete.” If you edited the appointment again, the status appeared in red. This has been fixed.
· If documents were attached to a provider and the provider’s ID was changed, the documents were not moved to the provider’s new ID. This has been fixed.
· Medical conditions continued to appear after being inactivated. This has been fixed.
· If you created a claim, deleted the patient’s insurance carrier from the patient’s family file, and then sent the claim electronically, a message appeared incorrectly stating that the claim was sent successfully. This has been fixed.
· If the Letters filter option was selected, Office Journal opened slowly. This has been fixed.
· Practice Advisor report previews were not being generated. This has been fixed.
· The Medical History Questionnaire form would not save to the Dentrix database. This has been fixed.
· If you created or edited a questionnaire form using the Patient Information question to which you added the Medication field or the Health History check boxes, reported medications specified as non-critical always appeared as critical in Health History. This has been fixed.
· If you created a questionnaire form containing the PI-Health History check boxes, the patient’s responses did not appear in the completed form. This has been fixed.
· If you printed a treatment plan, the title, address, and header did not print unless you used an Adobe Reader or .pdf device format. This has been fixed.
· In the Time Clock, the Auto Punch Out Time you specified was not being saved. This has been fixed.
