    • Allow First time users/patients to book on the Online Appointment Portal: zHealth can allow users to sign-up (not just sign-in) and create an online account in the online appointment portal. Note: This is the same username and password for the patient portal.
    • Appointment Credit Card Required: Requires a patient to enter a credit card to put on file to book an appointment (but not take payment). Credit card details will be saved in the patient file and without that patients can not book. This only works with NCMIC and/or zHealth Pay.

  • SALTing Last Visit? Our default SALTing of SOAPE Notes is based on the last visit from a specific provider. However, some of the larger clinics want to SALT notes based on the last visit, regardless of the provider. 
    • If checked, SALTing will occur from the last visit (regardless of provider). 
    • If not checked, SALTing will be based on last visit from the provider (2nd visit will populate from previous visit regardless until the provider in question has at least filled out their own notes.

  • Allow Existing Patient Walk-Ins to check in at the front desk: By default, patients can only check in at the front desk kiosk if they are on the schedule today. If you accept walk-ins, we can allow any existing patient (must be in the system) without an appointment for today to check-in with their phone number for the next available appointment. 
  • Allow New Patient to Walk-in: Not recommended, but if a phone number isn’t found in zHealth, a new patient who hasn’t visited your clinic before can create a patient profile and go through the sign-in process.
  • Add Memberships: zHealth has the ability to add memberships within the portal and to a patient’s chart. Best if used with integrated credit card processing

  • Room Assignment: Adds the ability to create and manage rooms in the admin section and offers those room selections during appointment scheduling.
  • Distribute and Apply Detailed Payments on Invoice: This was created for clinics who wanted detailed payment details at the CPT, Supplement, and Misc. Item (Supplies) level. It should only be used by clinics who want detailed reporting. If this is enabled, the invoice payment interface changes - it will ask for detailed patient payments only.
  • Enable CC to Provider Email: This will copy any invoice sent to the patient to the Provider’s email address on file.
  • Daily Log: Turns on the Daily Log so that notes can be added for the day and per patient. The Phone Log/Daily Log icon will show next to the Follow Up flag.
