Family Information

In the Family Information section of the UDS tab, you can enter family size and annual income for the patient's head of household. This information is typically used by Community Health Centers in conjunction with sliding fee schedules. When a patient qualifies for a sliding fee schedule, family size and income are used to determine the percentage of charges that are automatically adjusted for the patient. Family information is also reported on the UDS Report. Note: A head of household must be selected for a patient to enter family information. Family Information is stored at the practice level; therefore, each practice can enter and maintain different information for a person or patient. The Family Information section of the UDS tab is available as follows: Window: NextGen® Enterprise EHR NextGen® Enterprise PM NextGen® Optical Management Person Information No No N/A Patient Information Yes Yes Yes Add or Modify Family Information in UDS Tab You can enter or update family information
