From time to time, insurance carriers will ask for their patients (or in the case of pediatric patients, a guardian) to sign their treatment notes. They tend to ask for a signature because they want further verification that the treatment described in the progress note is accurate. So, we’ve added an easy way to do it in Version 509.

 

When inside a progress note, you’ll notice a little icon on the function bar. The tooltip reads ‘Client signature’. When you click it, the following box will appear:

 

 

Patients can then take hold of your cursor and us it to sign their signature.

 

Before this, the only way to collect a patient signature was to print it, get the patient to sign it with a pen, and then scan it back into Practice Perfect. But this addition of this feature makes the whole process of signing a treatment note dramatically simpler.
