If a patient forgets their card or key fob, you can issue a temporary one for the specific patient visit.
Temp cards work at Sign-In and at the VTC for signing in. Once the provider has posted a charge for the patient, the temp card clears their account for use on the next patient. Temp cards should be returned by the patient before they leave the clinic.
If a temp card does not automatically clear, you can manually remove the card under Utilities>Cancel Temp Card.

- Click TEMP CARD located on the Personal Tab

- Click SAVE when complete to exit
Atlas recommends setting aside a specific card for your Temp Card usage. You could write across the Card ‘TEMP’ to help avoid confusion for yourselves and your patients.
