Patient search   

Electronic Health Records Scheduling Billing

To search for a patient, enter their first name, last name, or both in the appropriate fields, or click the filter icon to search by Chart Number, Account Number, Date of Birth, Phone Number, or ZIP Code. Then click Search. If your search returns only one matching patient record, the patient’s chart will open automatically. 

If your search returns only one matching patient record, the patient’s chart will open automatically. However, if multiple records match your search, a list of results will appear. Simply click the appropriate patient name to open their profile. For example, if you entered just a last name and multpile patients have the same last name

If you click the magnifying glass icon without entering any search criteria, you’ll be taken to the Global Patient Search screen. From there, you can search for a patient using their Last Name, First Name, Date of Birth, ZIP Code, Chart Number, External Chart Number, Preferred Phone Number, Account Number, or Patient ID, then click Search. For example, if you only know the patient’s preferred phone number, you can enter just that information on the Global Patient Search screen to locate their record.

If your search returns only one matching patient record, the patient’s chart will open automatically. If multiple records match your search, a list of results will appear. Simply click the appropriate patient name to open their profile.

If no patients match your search, the window will display “No Rows to Show.” Try repeating your search using different criteria or additional fields, such as phone number, chart number, or date of birth.

Add a new patient

Scheduling Billing Electronic Health Records

If your RXNT subscription includes the Scheduling solution, new patients should be added to that solution. This ensures correct syncing of patients across all RXNT products and allows you to enter all relevant patient demographics, including insurance information and patient reminder preferences.

Click Add Patient in the upper right.

Enter the patient's demographic information. Required fields are marked with a red asterisk. Please note that at least one phone number must be provided, based on the selected preferred contact method. 

If your subscription includes Patient Reminders, you'll need to select the patient's preferred communication methods. Available options include Call, Email, SMS, and same-day reminders. Choose the Patient Time Zone from the dropdown menu. 

Hovering over the "i" information icon displays the message: “Updating this field won’t affect existing reminders; it applies only to reminders for appointments created going forward.” This means that if you change the setting, any reminders that have already been scheduled will not be updated. Only reminders for new appointments created after the change will use the updated setting.

If a patient has requested not to receive communications on Saturdays or Sundays, check the corresponding box. Checking a day-specific box only affects communications on that day. To stop all communications from being sent to the patient, select the Opt-out of all communications box, which overrides all other settings. 

If your subscription includes EHR, you can enable patient access to the Patient Health Records (PHR) portal by selecting the Activate PHR checkbox. Please note that activation requires either the patient's email address or cell phone number, depending on the selected option. 

To customize which fields are required when entering patient information, click Screen Settings.

From there, you can select or deselect additional options based on your practice’s needs. This allows you to tailor the patient intake process so that only the information relevant to your workflow is marked as mandatory. For example, you might choose to require the patient’s SSN while leaving middle name optional, depending on what information your practice needs. Once you’ve made your changes, click Save to apply them.

Click Save to add the patient, or Save & Add Case to add the patient and immediately proceed to entering their insurance information. For more information on adding or updating patient cases, please refer to the Create a Patient Case article for more information. 

The Quick Add feature lets you quickly create a patient profile when you need to schedule an appointment immediately and don’t yet have all demographic details. If a patient has been added using Quick Add, you will need to complete their full patient profile and case details later.

Incomplete information can cause billing claim rejections, failed eligibility checks, or issues with prescription transmission if not updated later.

Click the Plus button. 

A drop-down menu will appear, prompting you to enter the necessary details to quickly add a patient. Required information includes the patient's First Name, Last Name, and Date of Birth.  

To activate the PHR, click the Checkbox.  

Choose either Email or SMS, and then enter the corresponding email address or phone number based on your selection.  

Click Add

The Quick Add feature is also accessible when creating new appointments in the New Appointment screen. 

 

Update patient information

Scheduler Billing Electronic Health Records

If your RXNT subscription includes the Scheduler solution, patients should be updated in that solution. This ensures correct syncing of patients across all RXNT products and allows you to enter all relevant patient demographics, including insurance information and patient reminder preferences.

Search for the patient to update and navigate to the patient dashboard. Click the patient's name to edit the demographics.

Update the patient’s demographics as needed. Please note that RXNT accepts all three phone number formats, for example, 410-320-0865, 4103200865, and 410 320 0865. When sending SMS patient reminders, the system automatically trims the entry to numbers only before sending.

If your RXNT subscription includes EHR, you can use the Send Portal Registration link to provide the patient with PHR access, which can be sent to them by either email or SMS. To learn more about sending the patient portal registration, click here!

If the patient has already been granted access, that status will be displayed next to the link.

Click Save to add the patient, or Save & Add Case to add the patient and immediately proceed to entering their insurance information. For more information on adding or updating patient cases, please refer to the Create a Patient Case article for more information.
