Creating custom treatment consent messages

You can create custom treatment consent messages that can appear at the bottom of printed treatment plans and on treatment consent forms. Each location in your organization can have a different set of custom treatment consent messages.

Note: A printed treatment plan or a consent form will have one of the financial disclaimers, the Consent for Dental Treatment message, and any applicable custom treatment consent messages.

To create a custom treatment consent message

1. On a location's Patient Forms page, next to Tx Consent Messages, click (or tap) Add.

   

   The options for customizing the message become available.

   

2. Enter a title and the message text, and associate the message with any applicable procedures.

   Set up the following options:

   • English Message - From the Language list, select English. In the English Custom Message Title box, enter a title for the message. In the Type or paste the English custom message text here box, enter the message text. There is no limit to the length of the message text, but it must be at least 20 characters long. Patients whose records have English as their preferred language will see this message.

   • Spanish Message - From the Language list, select Spanish. In the Spanish Custom Message Title box, enter a title for the message. In the Type or paste the Spanish custom message text here box, enter the message text. There is no limit to the length of the message text, but it must be at least 20 characters long. Patients whose records have Spanish as their preferred language will see this message; otherwise, the patients will see the English message.

   • Procedures - To have the message appear on consent forms only when you treatment plan certain procedures, do the following:

     1. Click Add Procedure.

        The Add Procedure dialog box appears.

        

     2. Select the desired procedure codes.

        Tips:

        • To search for procedures by code or description, enter your search criteria in the Search By Procedure Code box to view the matching procedures codes. Then, select the desired procedure codes.

        • To locate procedures by category, select the Add By Categories check box, select a category on the left to view the corresponding procedure codes on the right. Then, either select the desired procedure codes, or select the Select All Procedures check box to select all procedure codes in the selected category.

          

     3. Click (or tap) Select to attach the selected procedure codes to the message.

        

        Note: You can associate a given procedure code with multiple consent messages. However, be aware that, when you treatment plan that procedure, all the consent messages that have that procedure associated with them will be included on the consent form.

     4. Repeat steps a-c as needed to add other procedure codes.

3. Click (or tap) Save.
