A patient needs to sign a number of documents that:
  • Authorize the doctor to physically examine their body.
  • Indemnify the doctor against any advice or procedure.
  • Authorize the practice to charge the patient personally in case the insurance company rejects the claim.
    • A practice can have similar or more legal documents, which have to be defined in the Group Master (System Groups). The Code indicates the primary filename of the legal document. The extension is assumed to be "doc". The filename starts with 'W' if a witness is required for signing the document.

    The purpose of this option is to list all documents signed by the patient. The signed documents are physically stored in the practice.
