PCC hosts a welcome reception from 6:00-8:00 p.m. that offers a chance to mingle with staff and other PCC clients, enjoy appetizers, participate in course counseling, and gather conference materials and other goodies.

Efficient office flow, clean claim submission, and improved personal collections start with the front-desk. Learn how to use PCC's Partner software to efficiently check-in patients and improve office flow. This WebLab is geared toward new users that need to be proficient with Partner's Checkin, Patient Editor (notjane), and Family Editor (fame) programs.

Attendees will learn how to use Checkin to check-in patients from a list of scheduled patients, verify insurance eligibility, and update insurance policy information and demographics. Attendees will also learn how to use this one-stop program to access and change custodial or guarantor information; check outstanding account balances, and collect and post time-of-service payments. Register online or download this PDF form (when available) and fax it to us at 802-846-8178.

Use your staff resources wisely—have your properly trained checkout desk users post charges and collect/apply copays and other time-of-service payments before the patient leaves your office. Pick from the list of checked-in patients (or search for a patient by “magic word” or name) to quickly post diagnoses and procedures, detailed hospital visit information, and payments for today's visit—even print a TOS receipt for your patient. (Partner's “dailycheck” report can be used later to reconcile encounter forms against what was posted in the checkout program.) Register online or download this PDF form (when available) and fax it to us at 802-846-8178.

Find the appointment best fit to your patient's and doctor's needs in Partner's scheduler, sam. Attendees will learn how to effectively search by provider, visit type, and use different time frame search criteria to quickly find the right available appointment slots. We'll demonstrate advanced schedule views (day, detailed, and normal views) and features, such as provider free time which helps users distribute appointments among providers.

Attendees will also learn how to efficiently schedule consecutive sibling visits using the “next relation” function, how to add appointment notes (which can be configured to print on encounter forms to notify providers of important appointment details), and how to force in appointments (if that function is available to the user). Register online or download this PDF form (when available) and fax it to us at 802-846-8178.
