To ensure accurate Hygiene Pre-Appointment rates, it's important to follow the proper Eaglesoft workflow.
In many Practice Management Software appointment modules, you can set up a next hygiene visit, and the procedure codes for that visit will automatically populate in the appointment. However, this is not the case in Eaglesoft.
Practice IQ evaluates the hygiene pre-appointment rate by scanning the patient's next visit for a hygiene-related code. To ensure the next recall appointment registers correctly in Eaglesoft, follow these steps:
1. Select the Add Services button after choosing the appointment type.
2. Add at least one of the following codes:
Adult Prophy Code D1110
Child Prophy Code D1120
Perio Maintenance Code D4910
By doing this, Practice IQ will recognize that the hygiene patient has scheduled their 3-month, 6-month, 12-month, or other interval appointment.
