Overview - Atlas Chiropractic Systems

In Generation 3 Atlas, the providers have the ability to create patient charges directly from the Adjusting tables. Atlas determines the correct charge to attach to the transaction based on the Providers Default Service, as configured in the Provider setup screen. This charge can be modified in a variety of ways: depending on the Patient Category, Patient Special Rates, Care Plan setup, insurance status and more. It can also be configured (with changes to the initial setup of Atlas) to allow a Provider his/her choice of Services to post on a patient file. The next few sections will discuss how to set the Default Charge and different ways to supersede the default charge when necessary. We will be referring to the Services setup section discussed earlier; please be sure your Services list is properly configured before proceeding.

Note: Entering Transactions – Methods

There are a few methods for entering charges onto a Patient account. The most common method is when the Provider uses the Atlas touchpad from the VTC (Adjusting table) area to ‘Post Adjustment’. This process will be covered in detail in the VTC training section. The second scenario is manually adding a Transaction to the Patient account. This is done by using the ‘Trans’ button on the patient profile. Alternatively, you can use the shortcut key ‘T’ on your keyboard. We will discuss this method in the following sections. The third scenario is posting to a Patients account using Post Dated payments feature. This automatically posts a pre-determined payment to the Patient account. Post Dated payments will be covered near the end of this section.
