It is $6.59 a month for 300 app per month (50 cents per app

thereafter).  Runs like the cell phone I guess.  It is not very clear on the

site.

I pay about $20 a month. But they have different tiers. I don't think you need the Outer Space-Capable Ferrari version. Probabley $20-$25 a month will set you up good. Wayne CoghillPractice ManagerMidtown Primary Carewww.doctorcoghill.com

I have the second to cheapest plan: $14.75/month. When I

signed up, they didn’t charge for appointments over a limit, but the 400

included at this level are enough for me. Once you decide you like it, you can

pre-pay a year and get 3 months free. I like it!

Look at the site that comes up on the link from my website: https://www.appointmentquest.com/provider/2060088933

You can play with it and see what a patient would see. It isn’t

too hard to set up.

Agree, appointment quest isn't really that hard.

They bill my AMEX card monthly for about $20; I can set up 2 sites this way (I work in my main office and another office subletting from Podiatrist Wed AM and all day Friday.

I don't use the pt making the appt part, but if I had no staff, I'd do that for sure! Be sure to put pt's email in, as the system will remind them of appt automatically (may be the "second tear" service though).

Also consider an email portal type service (I use RelayHealth for about $270 for the year just for the email portal; I don't use the eprescribing, which would cost about $50/month more).

Good luck and keep brainstorming here!

You can adjust that so the " office hours " shown on that page are not the

same that are available to schedule. I know that because that is how I have it set

up. But, alas, I have to play around with AQ any time I have to change

anything, and I am never able to re-track my steps exactly the same. So I can't

As you set up Appt Quest, it is helpful to have their user guide. I kept using their online help (no help at all) or emailing them (they are very detailed in their responses) until they directed me to the user guide. It is linked on their account set up page near the bottom. Here it is as well: http://www.appointmentquest.com/rs/AccountSetupGuide.pdf

My patients rave about AQ- almost 100% love it. Last Sunday, five patients scheduled themselves for the upcoming week.

I did not look to see if Sharon's question is answered there.

I think you can set up your facility office hours broadly, but then you restrict your personnel hours to when you want to allow people to book for you.That should do it.

Lynn,

That is what I do know.  Business Hours are 7 am-10 pm, but then

Consult and Physical appointment schedules are much shorter than that; my

ad-hoc schedule (that only I can book) can be any time 7am -10 pm 7 days week.

I was looking at AQ today. If your practice is closed to new patients, is there a way to assign a code or give existing patients a password so that only established patients with the code / password can make appointments? From what I see, a new patient can request / make an appointment, but then the practice has to go thru the effort of "denying" the request.

Per the user guide, what you want is not possible with AQ. Personnel work hours must always be within the business hours you have set up. I do what Lynn does and use my Amazing Charts schedule as my final schedule and my add-ons only show up on the AC schedule, not the AQ schedule.

It does look like I work long hours doesn’t it?

Actually, it is set like that so that I can add in patientsoutside of regular hours when I want to; patients can only book from 9-2:30……

You have your office hours set up, but each person providing a service has there own Availability schedule. So, lets say you are solo with 1 assistant. Thanksgiving day is a paid holiday, but the day after isnt. You are taking it off, but your assistant will not and will be there to answer the phone, take messages, maybe do some shredding or scanning in some stuff that's backlogged. whatever. So, your office schedule says that you are open, but when someone tries to schedule an appointment for that day there will be no availability because YOU are listed as not available. You can set up your availability on the setup screen, accessible by clicking on the link at the bottom of the left side of the screen once you log in.

Yeah, this is true too. You can define each type of appointment with its own schedule. So if you want to limit the # of physicals you do per day, or have them only at a certain time, you set the Physical schedule that way. If you look at ours, you wil notice the difference in the schedules for Preventive visits and Sick visits. Wayne CoghillPractice ManagerMidtown Primary Carewww.doctorcoghill.com

Lynn,

That is what I do know. Business Hours are 7 am-10 pm, but then Consult and Physical appointment schedules are much shorter than that; my ad-hoc schedule (that only I can book) can be any time 7am -10 pm 7 days week. I’d like it to be so the “business hours” people see are the hours they can actually schedule themselves.

I think you can set up your facility office hours broadly, but then you restrict your personnel hours to when you want to allow people to book for you.That should do it. Another way to do it is just to block permanently and broadly a swath of time eg 7-9AM every day until 2011 etc...Lynn

You can adjust that so the "office hours" shown on that page are not the same that are available to schedule. I know that because that is how I have it set up. But, alas, I have to play around with AQ any time I have to change anything, and I am never able to re-track my steps exactly the same. So I can't advise to "how" to do that.Tim

Thanks.  The AQ support sent some confusing message, but

basically it seems it can’t be done without Tim’s intermittent special powers.

The separate AC/AQ schedule idea is fine, but I like the email

they shouldn’t forget (but not always).

Tim,

Thanks for taking the time to go through this.  I must still be

missing something.

Anyway, I just went to your appointmentquest page and your

business hours are “regular.â€Â  Yet, you can schedule outside of these for your

other schedules?

When I change my business hours, (such as being closed on Sat.

and Sun.), it stops me from being able to schedule those times on my ad-hoc

schedule.  I guess it is a precaution so that you don’t have people showing up

when you are closed, but in my case (and yours) sometimes it would be helpful.

Sorry to beat this into the ground, but I may argue that you do

have special powers.

I

have the second to cheapest

plan: $14.75/month. When I signed up, they didn’t charge for

appointments over a limit, but the 400 included at this level are enough

for

me. Once you decide you like it, you can pre-pay a year and get 3 months

free. I like it!

Look

at the site that comes up on the

link from my website: https://www.

You

can play with it and see what a

patient would see. It isn’t too hard to set up.

Hmmm... I just wish I knew what those special powers are! I'm always the last

to know!Anyway, I think I know what the issue is now. I have the

Silver PRO version.... $410/yr after the percentage off paying a full year at a

time. That allows for " personalization " so I wonder if my setup options

are different from yours.So, alas, no special powers, just a different

level of service.Tim

Tim,

Thanks for taking the time to go

through this. I must still bemissing something.

Anyway, I just went to your

appointmentquest page and yourbusiness hours are

“regular.â€Â Yet, you can schedule

outside of these for yourother schedules?

When I change my business hours, (such

as being closed on Sat.and Sun.), it stops me from being able to schedule

those times on my ad-hocschedule. I guess it is a precaution so

that you don’t have people showing upwhen you are closed,

but in my case (and yours) sometimes it would be helpful.

Sorry to beat this into the ground, but

I may argue that you dohave special powers.

I set up 2 "people" and 2 locations -- but did it so long ago that I forget the setup, except blocking here and there.

Set up the "other person" as nurse visits, so we scheduled flu shots but didn't have a ton of people all coming at once.

I only have the $21.95/month version and can still do this.

OK.  That finally makes sense.  I have the “classic†version

($14.75/month).  I feel better now that we understand why you can do something 

I can’t, although I still believe you have special powers.
