Number of Units | Type the number of units typically required for this type of visit. | 3 | |
New Patient | If this Type of Visit code is for new
patient appointments, select this check box. If you select this
code while scheduling a new appointment, the New
Patient check box in the Appointment screen will be automatically
selected.
Note: When existing appointments are edited and you change the Type of Visit code to one that has this check box selected, the New Patient check box within the Appointment screen will not be changed. You must manually change the field. |

Recall Type | This field is for Text Users only -
You can assign a specific Recall Type to a Type of Visit code
so that when you schedule an appointment and select the type of
code for the appointment, the system will automatically check
to see if the patient has any future Recalls stored on their account
that match the code tied to the type of visit code. If there is
a matching Recall you will have the option to access the Patient
Recall Function directly to add, edit, or delete recalls. This field does not apply to CGM webPRACTICE Users because all future Recalls are automatically displayed in the Scheduling Inquiry screen for every patient selected when scheduling patient appointments. |

DMS Letter to Print | Select the DMS Letter to print for this type of visit. When you save an appointment for this type of visit, the Printers dialog box will display so you can choose whether or not to print the document at that time, in preparation for the patient's appointment. | 30 | |
Type of Service | Type the code you want or select a code
from the Type of Service list. If you link a Type of Service to this Type of Visit, the Missing Charge Report will include all scheduled appointments where the posted procedures do not match the Type of Service linked to the Type of Visit. For example, if you schedule an appointment with a 'Follow-Up' Type of Visit that has the 'Medical Care' Type of Service linked to it but you only posted an x-ray procedure (type of service), then the appointment will show on the Missing Charge Report because it is looking for a procedure that is tied to the 'Medical Care' Type of Service. |
