Quick Recap of This Month's Product Updates

  • Billing: Auto-Calculated Write-Offs applies the contractual write-off when you post an insurance payment through mass payments, so staff stop entering adjustments by hand.

  • Clinical: Specialty Contact Lens Finalization lets you finalize scleral, Ortho-K, and GP prescriptions in the exam, and Exam Autocode Coverage Expansion turns over 100 documented findings into diagnosis codes.

  • AI & Copilot: Quinn Scribe Updates extend the AI scribe to the anterior-exam battery, Plans and Procedures, Patient Recall, and Addendums, with a patient-consent step for practices that require it.

  • Patient Communication: Inbound MMS Messages lets patients text photos and files to your practice, landing in the Communication Center where staff can view and save them.

  • Patient Records: Bulk Print Patient Card prints ID cards for many patients at once, and Faster Patient Files with Search finds files by name and loads long file lists quickly.
