March Release Recap

Authorization by Units: Members using the WebPT EMR + Billing solution can choose to input authorizations by units or visits. Unit authorizations flow into Billing and follow the same rules as visit auths. Unit auth tracking and alerts are only available in SOAP 2.0.
Secondary Authorizations: Members using the WebPT EMR + Billing solution can input secondary auths by units or visits and these will flow into the Billing application. Secondary auth tracking and alerts are only available in SOAP 2.0.

WebPT Outcomes Now Supported: Members with WebPT Outcomes can collect patient surveys using one of three intake methods: Email, Kiosk, and Fill Out Now. Upon completion, outcomes are staged and ready to be paired with the patient's note.

Added Activities of Daily Living for Mobility: New subsections include: Bed Mobility, Ambulation, Lifting and Carrying Objects, Wheelchair Mobility, and Transfers.

Common assistive devices are included in selection lists for quick documentation.
