Setting up the "Progress Note Approval" feature on the Portal allows administrators and supervisors the ability to closely monitor the content of their therapist's progress notes. Follow the quick and easy steps listed below to enable this feature.
1. The first step is to click on "system management".
2. The next step is to click on the "Billing Code Progress Notes" button at the top of the menu.
3. Once you've clicked on the "Billing Code Progress Notes" button, scroll down to the "Progress Notes" section. Here you will see an unchecked box next to "Progress Notes" that says "Enable". Click on the box to enable progress notes.
4. Once you've enabled the progress notes feature you will notice that the progress note section will appear as well as a "Supervisor Approval Required" option. Checking the "Supervisor Approval Required" section will let the system know that you require your analyst to approve progress notes.
5. When you click on the "Supervisor Approval Required" option, you will also notice another option pop up called "Withhold claims until Approval". Checking the "Withhold claims until Approval" option tells the system not to allow the billing entry associated with the progress note to appear in the "Claims" section until the progress note has been approved.
6. Once you have completed the steps listed above, you have now successfully set up the progress note approval feature on the Portal.
