Additionally, when creating calls in DLCPM, you will have the option to share the notes with your customers and eliminate a need to call the doctor. For more information about DDX configuration, please refer to the DDX section of help file under the Global Settings.

DDX Products Update works in conjunction with DDX Integration. If you are registered with DDX, this option will update DDX with the Product ID and Product Description linked to the DDX Procedures.

Online Tax Invoices Upload

Process LockBox and Read LockBox services are designed to process the files provided by the bank. Your bank should be able to provide you with an export of your daily payments if your lab does not receive payment directly from the customers or most payments are sent directly to the bank. These services will process the files, identify the customers, post the payments to their account, and automatically or optionally apply the payment to respective invoices. Since each financial institution has different ways of providing the data, a custom program needs to be developed to process such files before you can utilize these services.

Transmit Coupa Invoices

Update Shipment Tracking may be configured to run once a day to update the case shipment status. If enabled, the service will retrieve the tracking information for each case’s outbound shipping tracking number. (In the Case Finder form, there is a new tab available for “Tracking Info” which will display the tracking information retrieved from the new automated job. When the Carrier records confirmation of delivery for the shipment, the Carrier Delivery Date is displayed on the 3. Shipping tab. Additionally, if Proof of Delivery Signature (POD) is available, the image for the signature is added to the case Images & Attachments tab.)
