When a microchip or rabies vaccination product is used, the patient must be edited and the corresponding Microchip or Rabies Tag identity added to the patient via its Identities tab.
This project will enable Microchips, Rabies tags and other patient identities to be entered when a corresponding product is charged.
In addition, a button will be added to the Patient Summary to add a microchip for the patient, if one isn't present.
Product Changes
Medication, Merchandise and Service products will be assigned a new field, "Patient Identity" that indicates what type of patient identity should be created when the product is charged. This field will:
- be optional
- list the identity types that a patient can have (Microchip, Pet Tag, and in the US, Rabies Tag; Alias will be excluded)
- allow the selection of one of these types (a single product cannot create both a Microchip and Rabies tag for example)
Charging Changes
When charged, a product with a Patient Identity will:
- display an editor for the corresponding identity (Microchip/Pet Tag/Rabies Tag)
- immediately add the entered identity to the patient
The editor may be skipped. If skipped, no identity is added to the patient.
The editor will be displayed if a product with a Patient Identity is:
- included by a product template
- invoiced from an Estimate
Patient Summary Changes
If a patient doesn't have a microchip, an Add button will be displayed in the patient summary e.g.:
When clicked, this will:
- display a Microchip editor
- add the Microchip to the patient when OK is clicked
This is a shortcut for:
- Going to Patients - Information
- Editing the patient
- Clicking the Identities tab
- Clicking Add to add a new Microchip
Exclusions
If a product with a Patient Identity is charged, and the Identity added to the patient, it will not be removed from the patient if the charge is removed.
This must be done by editing the patient in Patients - Information.

Re: Microchip entry at billing
What do you think of the idea of supporting different microchip types?
Would the type be based on the microchip length, specification or brand?
That is, the project could support:
Supporting different brands may be useful from a reporting perspective, but may not be practical if scanners can't determine the brand of a chip.
Re: Microchip entry at billing
Hi Tim,
Personally, I believe the type should be based on the microchip length. As you mentioned, we cannot determine the brand of the chip by scanning.

Re: Microchip entry at billing
Brand really isnt as important as the type ie
ISO v AVID type
Actually brand or manufacturer is easily determined on ISO chips
the chip number actually defines the first 3 digits are the manufacturer ..
those starting with 900 are actually multiple cheap chinese manufacturers.
I doubt this is that important tho
