Thanks, I just needed to hit add above attachments and find the document!

Is there a way I can send a copy of my pocket depth records by email to another dentist or periodontist?

Go to https://www.aetna.com/about-us/login.html#tab_link_tabs_5. Register for an account, then log in and go to search explanation of benefits and find all the claims that were processed and match them to the amount deposited in your bank. You can also go to https://www.metdental.com/prov/execute/ho...

Thank you! I just needed to change the claim from received to another choice on the list.

Hi, Is there any way to delete items in a treatment plan that were not done, but are attached to a preauthorization. For example, a post and core on a tooth that only needed a core build up. If I go to procedure info and click on edit anyway. I get: Not allowed to delete a procedure that is attached...

Thank you, please let me know when the procedure code is linked.

I also need help with this. How do I do this?

I upgraded from 14.3. I believe the lab case fee box was showing up on my other workstations. I use Kapricorn systems to update my software and do my offsite backups. Perhaps it is an plugin or add on that they did. I will give them a call tomorrow.
Thanks!

What happened to the box in edit lab case where I could list the lab fee? Just updated to 15.4.35.0.
Thanks

Why does the ADA endorse PBHS when it has on its website (for member use only) a: An authorization form for a patient to use to consent to unencrypted email (must be a stand-alone document) (DOCX). This form can be located at: http://www.ada.org; Home; Member Center; Member Benefits; Legal Resources...

I am using version 14.2.25.0. I have scroll bars next to daily and monthly and I have scrolled down on both of them. Maybe Kapricorn systems (my IT company) added extra reports when they installed the hardware and software. How do I attach an image here? Here is a link to a screen shot in dropbox: h...

The Hygiene Anaylsis button under Monthly in Reports.

I am trying to figure out the Hygiene/Recall Analysis report, everything seems straight forward, but I can't figure out where the Patients Expected number comes from. When I look at Feb 2016 it has many more patients expected than I have scheduled in the appointment book and if I add on the patients...

Thanks,
When I get to Select "Patient Information" on the right pane the only fields available are Pat Fields, Birthdate, City, Ask to Arrive Early and Super Head. Should I pick Pat Fields or do I need to add Patient Information to the right pane and if so how do I do that?

What I did was make another type of CommLog type and call it Family Info. Now up until tonight I could not see all my CommLog notes because when I clicked on Show, None, CommLog all I got was a list of the dates that I had added a CommLog note. Tonight I realized that if I click on Show, None, CommL...

I have been using ESET NOD 32 Antivirus for about 6 years, works great. No problems.

The Ohio Dental Association Services Corporation is endorsing ClaimX by Extradent. For ODA members the rate is 25 cents a claim. Has anyone tried them? I'm using Claim connect, but this is less expensive.

Hi kirktucci, What you are doing is exactly how I started computerizing my office years ago and it worked just fine. I ma also a small office with one dentist and one assistant. I started with a front desk computer that doubled as the server and one in my back office. I was still using paper records...

Can anyone help here? Any one using group notes? Thanks

I have been using group notes to write my progress note at the end of each appointment. I need a report at the end of the day to check these notes and make sure each patient has a note written. Is there some way to produce this report? It's a pain to go to each patient chart and check this. The inco...

Thanks Jordan, I love open dental. Now I have another question. How do I show a remaining root that I use for an anchor for an attachment. The root is remaining but the tooth has been added to the partial denture. Will I be able to add a tooth to a partial on the graphic if it has not been extracted...

Thank you so much. The patient had a crown on the tooth that was extracted. Once I removed the crown the graphic was just the implant. I do not see where the box is to hide the graphic, when you say go to the historical transaction I double clicked on the crown procedure, and under the fee are boxes...

How do I make a graphic show for an implant only. Every code I have set up for paint type implant shows a crown on top of the implant. I want to show only the implant, it is used for a locator attachment.

Hi, Just wanted to let you know that I just fixed the flickering screen by removing the Intellipoint driver that came with my Microsoft mouse. Updating other drivers did not help.
