Attaching Continuing Care types to procedures

When you attach a Continuing Care type to a procedure, the patient’s Continuing Care due date is automatically updated by the interval assigned when the procedure is completed. If the patient has not yet been assigned the Continuing Care type, it is added.

1.   From the Maintenance menu in the Office Manager, point to Practice Setup, and then click Procedure Code Setup.

The Procedure Code Setup dialog box appears.

2.   Select a procedure code category and code from their respective lists, and then click Edit.

The Procedure Code Editor - Existing dialog box appears.

3.   Click the Auto Continuing Care search button.

The Select Continuing Care Type dialog box appears.

4.   Select the appropriate type from the list.

Note: You can assign only one Continuing Care type to a procedure code.

5.   To attach the selected Continuing Care type to the procedure code you selected, click Select.
