Sneak Peek: v9.11 Release Notes

Preview of What's Coming

Overview

Version 9.11 introduces updates that help staff work more efficiently across scheduling, clinical documentation, reporting, and billing. You can now send Telehealth session links by SMS directly from Calendar appointments, see who last updated a note from the chart face, and quickly identify the next due treatment plan date in the Chart Face header.

Billing teams can use the new Deposit Summary and Payments Summary reports, view total record counts directly within supported reports, and more accurately route balances through primary, secondary, and tertiary insurance payers before assigning responsibility to the patient.

Send Telehealth Link by SMS from Calendar Appointments

You can now send a Telehealth session link directly from an appointment in the Calendar. This makes it easier to quickly share the correct session link with a client without leaving the appointment details screen.

When you select Start Telehealth Session, a pop-up now includes an option to send the Telehealth link by SMS.

What's new

  • Added a Send Telehealth Link via SMS option to the Start Telehealth Session pop-up.

  • Sends the unique Telehealth link for the selected appointment only.

  • Uses the existing SMS service to send the message.

When the option is available

The Send Telehealth Link via SMS option appears only when:

  • Telehealth is enabled for your practice.

  • The appointment contact type is set to Telehealth.

  • The appointment status is:

    • Confirmed

    • Checked-In

    • Occurred

Notification

  1. After you send the Telehealth link, the following message appears in the pop-up: "Telehealth link sent via SMS successfully."


View the Last Clinician who Updated a Note

You can now see who most recently updated a note directly from the chart face. The initials of the last clinician to edit the note now appear next to the note status, regardless of the note status.

Hover over the initials to view the clinician's full name, the type of update made, and the date and time of the change.

The badge updates automatically whenever a clinician makes changes to a note, including updates to note text, diagnoses, medications, service codes, appointment links, assigned user, site, note date, follow-up details, and other clinical note fields.

The Last Edit badge updates immediately after changes are saved and always reflects the most recent action performed on the note.

If the most recent action was signing the note, the tooltip displays who signed the note and when.



View the Next Due Treatment Plan Date in the Chart Face Header

You can now see the next due treatment plan date directly in the Chart Face header, making it easier to identify upcoming work at a glance.

Notes
Note: Select the displayed date to open the corresponding treatment plan.

The header displays the earliest due date across all treatment plans associated with the chart, including General and Chemical Dependency treatment plans.

  • If multiple treatment plans have different due dates, the earliest date appears in the header.

  • If multiple treatment plans share the same due date, the date from the oldest treatment plan appears.

  • If no treatment plan has a due date, the header displays N/A.

Examples:

  • General Treatment Plan 1 due on 12/12/2026

  • General Treatment Plan 2 due on 03/05/2026

  • Chemical Dependency Treatment Plan due on 03/01/2026

Result: The Chart Face header displays 03/01/2026.

Select the displayed date to open the corresponding treatment plan.

You only see due dates for treatment plans you have permission to access. If you do not have access to any treatment plans, the header displays N/A.



New: Depost Summary Report

The Deposit Summary Report provides a summary of all payments collected within a selected date range. The report categorizes payments by payment method and separates them into Client Payments and Insurance Payments.
This report is commonly used by billing teams to reconcile collected payments and balance accounts receivable. All payments received within the selected date range are shown in the report, such as unapplied payments, prepayments, and collected copays.

Results are grouped alphabetically by:
  1. Location
  2. Clinician
  3. Client
The report also displays totals for each payment method, helping practices verify collected funds.

Users must have the appropriate permission to access the Unapplied Payments Report.

This report can be exported in CSV, PDF, or Excel format, similar to other reports.

New: Payments Summary Report

The Payments Summary Report provides a consolidated view of all payments recorded within a selected date range. It organizes payment data by payment method and groups results by location, clinician, and client for easy review.

This report helps billing teams reconcile payments, monitor adjustments, and validate collected amounts across the practice.

Added the Total Number of Results to Reports

You can now see how many records are included in a report without exporting it to Excel.

The total number of results now appears at the bottom of each page, before the date and time the report was generated.

Example:

30 Results, Generated on: 03/02/2026 03:30 PM EST

This update is available for the following reports:

  • Billing Report
  • Claim Submission Report
  • Clinical and Demographics Report
  • Collections Report
  • Demographics Report
  • Denials Report
  • Payments/Adjustments Report
  • Productivity Report
  • Signatures Report
  • Timely Filing Report
  • Unapplied Payments Report

This enhancement makes it easier to confirm the number of records included in a report at a glance.




Send Secondary and Tertiary Claims Using Chart-Level Payer Routing

You can now route claim balances through primary, secondary, and tertiary payers more accurately before assigning any remaining balance to the patient.

When a primary ERA or manual payment is posted, the system checks the patient’s chart for additional active insurance coverage. If a secondary or tertiary payer exists for the encounter date of service, the claim moves to the next payer instead of being assigned directly to the patient.

This update also improves the Next Responsibility workflow. The Next Responsibility list now uses active payers from the patient’s chart, even if those payers were not included on the original claim submission.

What's New

  • Automatically detects secondary and tertiary payers after the primary ERA is posted.

  • Updates the claim status to Ready for Secondary or Ready for Tertiary when additional payer responsibility exists.

  • Routes claims to the Unbilled tab.

  • Adds a filter in Billing Worklist so you can show only claims that are ready for secondary submission.

  • Allows billers to manually create, hold, or pause secondary claim submission from the queue.

  • Prevents balances from moving to patient responsibility until all payer responsibility is exhausted.

Next Responsibility Improvements

The Next Responsibility list now displays payers from the patient chart whose coverage dates include the encounter date of service.

  • The system suggests the next responsible payer automatically.

  • You can still change the selection manually, including selecting Patient.

  • Only active payers for the encounter date of service appear in the list.

Additional Improvements

  • Reports now reflect the correct payer responsibility.

  • Patient statements now include only the amount that is truly the patient’s responsibility.
