I don't agree with all of the suggested additions listed here but I would like additional funding sources besides insurance. I work with first responders and often have the police union, fire union or other non-profit cover their referrals co-pay. It would be helpful to have that in addition to the insurance information.

YES!!! Please can we remove some of the extra demographic fields...these were clearly designed for hospitals, large facilities, managed care and not for the majority of mental health providers. The amount of information you have as default info should really be in the clinical fields is desired.

I realize that we need to have an identified patient for billing purposes but creating a couples/family as a "group" while counting each as a single case messes with several things.
1) instead of the case taking up one slot in our allotted client load spaces they take up two. This may not matter to giant group practices but for us little guys who are individual clinicians it forces us to pay higher costs than we should.
2) The current "group" approach creates a lot of additional work. (As a side note in NM we get plaid less for couples, despite it being twice engagement requirements). The current group approach requires the clinician to write up a group note...does that count for the progress note? NOPE...we then have to write TWO progress notes, one for each couple with individual MMSE and treatment plans. This is crazy extra...we need to have a couples setting that allows both parties to have individual consent documentation, a shared portal and notes being integrated.
If the couple are being seen as individual clients with another therapist within the same agency then fine they can have two separate case files but we still need a single one for the couples therapist to operate from.

Yes sometimes we need to attach a text exchange, an image the client has drawn or processed with, or some other form of communication that has relevance to the case.
