🖊️Upon clicking Client Signature, you'll first see the various options for methods of obtaining a signature. Click here for detailed descriptions of each option.
Log 📋
Once the treatment plan has been completed, in order for services for that time frame to be billable, the priority is to obtain a signature from the client or caregiver/guardian. Any unsuccessful attempt at obtaining a signature should be documented in the Log section.
Specify the date of the attempt and details of the attempt - check the box at the bottom, to send a Med Record Request for a paper copy of the treatment plan to be mailed to the client for signature.
For example:
“Completed tx plan at today's appointment - the client will sign at next appointment.”
“Treatment plan completed via telehealth, mailing paper copy for signature.”
⚠️Supervisor Review
To ensure the proper completion of a treatment plan and facilitate successful billing for further services, the treatment plan needs to be signed by the client and/or guardian/caregiver.
In the event that you are unable to obtain a client signature prior to the timeframe that the treatment plan is to cover, it is crucial that the Supervisor Review option is used.
Without a client's signature, a supervisor needs to review in order to bill for services.
In cases where supervisor review becomes necessary, having a complete and accurate log of every attempt that you've made to collect the signature will help ensure we still receive payment for the service, if the lack of a client signature is ever scrutinized.
