Add a new patient

Scheduler Billing Electronic Health Records

If your RXNT subscription includes the Scheduler 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. If the patient has chosen to opt out of Saturday or Sunday communications, check the appropriate box. To opt the patient out of all communications, select the Opt-out of all communications box. 

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, ensuring that only relevant information is marked as mandatory. 

To customize your settings, click the checkboxes to select or deselect the desired options. 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 proceed to adding insurance information for the patient. 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 allows you to quickly create a patient profile when immediate scheduling is needed and full demographic details are not yet available. However, be aware that incomplete information may lead to billing claims rejections, failed eligibility checks, or unsuccessful prescription transmission if not updated promptly. 

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. 

If your RXNT subscription includes Billing but not the Scheduler solution, new patients should be added through the Billing module. This ensures proper synchronization between Billing and EHR, and allows you to enter both basic demographic details and insurance information. For more information on adding or updating patient cases, please refer to the Create a Patient Case article for more information. 

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 demographics as needed. We accept all (3) phone number formats, Ex. 410-320-0865; 4103200865; 410 320 0865, and when sending SMS patient reminders, we trim for only numbers and send them. If your RXNT subscription includes EHR, you can use the Send Portal Registration link to set the patient up with PHR access. If access has been previously provided, that information will display next to the link.
