Patient Appointment Presets (Fusion)

Permissions: You need the Admin permission to add, deactivate, reactivate and delete appointment presets.

Patient Appointment Presets help you save time when scheduling patient appointments by automatically filling in certain appointment information, including services, appointment type, duration and billing codes. You can also assign a color to the preset that will display on the schedule when you set the color filter to display preset colors. Once you have added patient appointment presets, you will be able to select them from the Presets field when scheduling new appointments.
