v9.9 Release Notes (Release Date: February 19, 2026)

v9.9 Release Notes (Release Date: February 19, 2026)

Overview 

ICANotes+ version 9.9 includes enhancements focused on functionality and the overall user experience.

Share Custom Buttons Across Your Practice

You can now share your custom buttons with other users in your practice—so your team doesn’t have to recreate the same buttons again and again.

With this update, you can choose to:

  • Share a button with everyone in your organization, or

  • Share it with specific users, disciplines, or locations (sites)

This helps keep documentation consistent, saves setup time, and lets your team focus more on client care instead of configuration.

To learn more about how to configure sharing and access settings for custom buttons, see the Knowledge Base. The screenshot below shows where to find the Share and Access Settings button for custom content.

New: Browser Notification Permission Prompt

What’s new
ICANotes+ now uses browser-based notifications to support faster, real-time updates across the application. Starting with this release, you’ll see a prompt after logging in asking you to Allow Notifications in ICANotes+.



Why this matters
This update improves how ICANotes+ delivers real-time updates in the application. It helps pages refresh data faster and more reliably, without changing what information you receive or how often you receive it.

What to expect
You’ll see a browser prompt asking to allow notifications for ICANotes+ only.

  • Allowing this permission does not mean you’ll receive new popups, alerts, or marketing messages.
  • This permission enables a secure technical connection between your browser and ICANotes+ so the app can deliver real-time updates.
  • If you allow it, ICANotes+ will be faster and more responsive in areas like billing, notifications, and messaging.
  • If you block it, ICANotes+ will continue to work, but some real-time updates won’t appear until you refresh or revisit the page.
  • You’ll continue to see the prompt on login until the permission is allowed.

Learn more: For step-by-step instructions on enabling (or re-enabling) this permission, see: Allow Notifications in ICANotes+

Configure Required Fields for Clinical Notes

You can now configure required fields for clinical notes in ICANotes+.

This enhancement allows your practice to enforce documentation requirements before a note is compiled. When a field is marked as required, users must complete it before compiling the note.

You can currently configure the following fields as required:

  • Diagnosis Code

  • Service Code

  • Time Spent

  • Linked Appointment

If a required field is missing, the system displays a validation message and prevents the note from being compiled.

You can also configure exceptions. This allows specific users to compile certain note types without completing a required field, while other users must still meet the requirement.

Notes
This is the initial release of the Required Fields feature. Additional fields will be supported in future updates to provide greater flexibility and control over clinical documentation requirements.

See the Configure Required Fields for Clinical Notes Knowledge Base article. 

Worklists: Filters and Sorting Saved per User

You no longer need to reapply your filters and sorting every time you return to a worklist. Previously, when navigating back to a worklist using the app’s navigation buttons—or after logging out and back in—your filters and sorting were reset. With this update, your last-used settings are remembered and automatically restored, helping you get back to work faster.

What’s Improved
  1. The system now saves your last-used filters and sorting for each worklist tab.
  2. When you return to a worklist, your previously applied filters and sorting are automatically restored.
  3. A new Reset Filters button is available:
    1. Clears all filters
    2. Removes sorting
    3. Returns you to the first page
  4. New Credentials column – A dedicated Credentials column is now available, separate from the Rendering Provider Name field, and supports sorting and filtering.
  5. Customize columnsShow or hide columns and drag and drop them to change their sequence. Your column visibility and order are saved and remain in place when you navigate away or sign out and sign back in.
Screenshots are provided below (after the Important Notes section) for reference.

Important Notes
  • Filters and sorting are saved per user and per device/browser.

  • Your settings are restored even after you log out and log back in.

  • Use the Reset Filters button to quickly return to the default view.

Screenshot for Reference

In this example, when a user returns to a Billing Worklist tab, the system automatically reapplies the last-used filters and sorting instead of showing the default, unfiltered view. The Reset Filters button is also shown, which lets users restore the worklist to its default state.




New Credentials column – A dedicated Credentials column is now available, separate from the Rendering Provider Name field, and supports sorting and filtering.


Drag and drop columns – Rearrange columns by dragging and dropping them to change their sequence. In the example below, the Chart ID column is dragged to a new position.



Show or hide columns – Hide the columns you do not want to see in the worklist, as shown in the screen below. Your changes are saved and restored when you navigate away or sign out and sign back in. To display all columns again, click Reset Filter.
 


Batch Claim Files for Faster Submissions

ICANotes+ now submits claims to the clearinghouse in batch files instead of sending one claim per file. When you submit claims from the Billing Worklist, multiple claims are grouped into a single file and sent together. This update helps improve submission performance for high-volume practices.

What’s changed
  • Multiple claims are now included in a single submission file.

  • Fewer files are sent to the clearinghouse, which helps improve processing speed.

  • Related claims appear together in the clearinghouse portal, making them easier to track and review.

What’s not changed
  • There are no changes to the submission workflow in the interface.

  • Claim validation works the same way:

    • Claims that fail validation are not included in the submitted file.

    • A validation CSV is still generated for any claims that fail validation.

  • Payer-specific rules are still applied per claim and do not affect other claims in the same batch.

  • You’ll continue to see a confirmation message showing how many claims were submitted.

Additional notes
  • Claims that are in the process of being submitted cannot be submitted again until the submission completes. This helps prevent duplicate submissions.
