• GPS Selected Location – used with the Filter by Location function; when activated, the phone’s GPS system will select the current location when you open MD Coder.
• Remember Last DOS - used when entering back-dated charges.  If set to Yes, you will need to enter the date of service on the first charge, then any subsequent charges entered will use that DOS until you change the date.
• Ask Location on Login – when set to Yes, you will be asked to select your location each time you open MD Coder.
• Submit Charges on Login – automatically submits all charges on the phone each time MD Coder is opened.

• Hide Code Numbers – set to Yes to see descriptions only for CPT, ICD, & Modifiers.  The code numbers will still appear on the Web Portal for the selected items.
• Do not Sort Drilldown – drilldowns are normally sorted by code number, and can be sorted by description on the selection screen.  Setting this to Yes will prevent the drilldown from sorting, allowing you to keep the items in a specific order for customized drilldowns.
• After Charge Go To – choose to go to the Patient List (default), Charge Summary screen, or Charge Edit screen after each charge is saved.
• Skip Date & Location Screen – available ONLY for practices will specific ADT interfaces.   If available, allows you to skip the Date and Location confirmation screen when filters are applied for specific dates and locations.

• Ask to add image on new Patient – when this is set to Yes, after adding a new patient you will see a pop-up asking if you wish to add an image.
• Enable Quick Pick – this will add fields for the CPT & ICD codes to the bottom of the screen where you confirm date of service and location.  This option is only available to users with fewer than 25 codes in CPT/ICD Favorites.
• Add Prev ICD to new Charges - if this option is set to "Yes", diagnosis codes from the previous charge for the patient will be copied to any new charge.  Corrections to the diagnosis codes can then be made by sliding the patient to the left, tapping the green Charges button, and editing the new charge.
• Require Login Password – if this option is set to “Yes”, you will be asked to enter your password each time you open MD Coder.

• Duplicate Charge Detection – if set to Yes, will pop up a warning when a 2nd charge with the same date & CPT code is entered on a patient.  Will detect duplicate charges from the same provider or from multiple providers.
• Block Charges without ICDs – if set to Yes, will prevent charges from being saved without an ICD code.
• Disable Future Date of Service – when set to Yes, this will block charges with a future date from being entered in error.
• Add My Prev ICD Only – must be used in conjunction with #21, Add Prev ICD to new Charges.  With both of these set to Yes, when 2 physicians in the same practice are both treating a patient with different diagnosis codes they can each copy their own diagnosis codes to a new charge.
• Use Patient Location on New Charges – if the patient has been seen previously at a different location and still has an open or undischarged case, setting this to Yes will ensure that the charge picks up the location where the patient is currently assigned.
