I have patients that LOVE the portal. Some asks that I’ve gotten and cannot figure out.
When a patient goes to register, they enter their name and email right. NO problem.
Then they click the link in their email and start populating fields for demographics. NICE love it.
But, when we get to the insurance page. I wish there was a way to add an “Upload your Insurance Cards here” capability.
If it cannot be done, I understand.
Hi @rfrazier22
I’m not an OpenEMR dev but I’ve been hovering around the project for a while and seen the design preferences. There’s a tendency to build upon existing code rather than revise or re-do an already- coded function without a compelling reason.
The capability to upload documents had already existed inside the pt’s portal account for quite a while. And where it’s located, it can be used for uploading other documents besides just the insurance card. It would be an unnecessary use of resources to merely change the access point of the function. Also, the existing documentation already says to use the file ‘upload’ feature:
Your idea would have been great if it had been thought of when they were coding the original portal!
Best- HT
