Recall Patients for Physicals

Add Physical Due Date Criteria

After running the Recaller, select the “Include by Date of Physical Due” for a physical criteria. You can search for it by entering “*due*”, as shown.

Enter a date range that will include patients who have recently missed their physical due date and/or those for whom the time for a physical is approaching.

Note: A patient’s next-due physical date is set, based on your office’s custom physical schedule, whenever they are billed for a Well Child procedure. You can also change a patient’s physical due date in the Patient Editor (notjane).

Add Last Visit Date Criteria to Find Active Patients

Use the Last Visit criteria to limit your recall to active patients, those who have visited your practice in the past three years or so.

Add Account and Patient Flag Criteria to Exclude Removed Patients

Use the two “Exclude by Flag” criteria to remove Inactive, Dismissed, Deceased, or other sets of patients or accounts that you do not want to include in your recall.

You can also use the Exclude by Flag criteria to remove patients and families who have asked not to be contacted. Read Exclude Patients From Recaller and Notify to learn more.

Add Exclude by Appointment Criteria to Avoid Patients with Upcoming Appointments

Since you don’t want your Recaller output to include patients who already scheduled an upcoming physical, select the “Exclude by Appointment” criteria. Then enter a date range and select all physical visits.

Optional: Add Additional Criteria

You may also choose to limit your well child recall to certain geographical locations (by zip code), primary care physician, or other criteria.
