   No further action is needed.

• Caregiver Secondary Office: If a Patient has a visit with a Caregiver who is not assigned to the destination office, then the system adds the destination office to the Caregiver as a Secondary office.

• Billing and E-Billing Batch Split: Because billing batches are created in an office, the billing batch is split into a new batch with the destination office, when a Patient is moved to a destination office. All the data related to the Patient, moves to the new batch and the existing batch summary is adjusted. The Batch Number and Batch ID are updated in all dependent tables.

To assign role permissions, go to Admin > User Management > Edit Roles. In the Edit Roles page, select Patient from the Section dropdown field and applicable roles from the Roles dropdown field. Click Search to generate permissions

Select the Move Patient Office permission for each role (if multiple roles are applicable) and click Save to finalize.

For a successful Patient Office move from an existing (source) office to a new (destination) office, both offices must have the same Time Zone, Duty List Setup, and Payroll Setup. These items must be an exact match to be able to move the Patient from one office to another.

For traditionally Linked and UPR Linked Contract Patients:

• The Payer must be associated with the destination office.

• If the Patient has visits or authorizations with the source Office, then an exact active Service Code must also exist in the destination office (same exact Name, Discipline, and Rate Type).

For UPR Linked Contract Patients only:

• A child Patient Profile cannot be moved if the Patient Profile is merged. In this case, the parent (original) Patient Profile must be moved/added to the destination office. Thereafter, both profiles are moved.

• In cases of Split Patients, a Split Patient cannot be moved to an office where the other part of the Split Patient already exists.

For Internal Contract Patients, simply add/create the destination office and then move the Patient.
