How to Set Up an Invite Code for the Patient Portal Sign Up

There are several steps to this process. They are described below.

Step One: Create an online Chargeband with rules

To create a new Chargeband to allow new patients to register on the Patient Portal:

1.1 Navigate to the Admin page > Billing and create a New Chargeband

1.2 Add a Patient Self-book rule to the Chargeband

1.3 Add other billing rules to the Chargeband as needed

Step Two: Enable Online Booking on the Chargeband

2.1 Scroll down through the page and select Enable Online Booking

2.2 In the Allowing Patient Access dialog that appears, select Allow and Notify or Allow with No Notifications

The Online Settings panel is now made available.

Step Three: Add an Online sign-up invite code

3.1 In the Online Settings panel, populate the Online sign-up invite code with a code you would like new patients to use - for example, Welcome123

Step Four: Repeat for All Applicable Chargebands

4.1 Repeat the above steps for every Chargeband for which you wish patients to be able to sign up online via your Patient Portal

Step Five: Share Code with New Patients

5.1 Share the code with your new patients via your chosen communication method (website, social media, email, etc.)

5.2 Direct your patients to your Patient Portal URL where they will be asked to input the welcome code you have shared with them.

Once the new patient completes the patient registration process these new patients will be visible in your Meddbase chamber on their assigned Chargeband, as per the invite code they submitted.
