Setting Up Acupuncture

Acupuncture is an optional ChartPro module. Switching it on takes three steps: enable it for the practice, import the point catalog, and attach the form to a note segment.

Enable the module

1. Open ProductPro and go to Settings.
2. Tick the Acupuncture checkbox and save.

The Acupuncture button appears on the ChartPro admin page once the setting is on. Until then the module is invisible, even though every practice has the tables.

Import the point catalog

1. In OfficePro, open the Tools menu and choose ChartPro.
2. Click Acupuncture, then Import catalog.
3. Click Import the standard catalog.

The import brings in the channels, the classical points and the safety cautions, and reports what it did in a single line, for example “409 points imported, 409 with identification, 177 with safety data”.

The import never overwrites a point your practice has edited. Run it again after an update and your own changes are left alone, while anything new is added.

What gets imported, and what does not

Check the billing codes

Acupuncture bills on 97810, 97811, 97813 and 97814, and dry needling on 20560 and 20561. Most practices already carry the first four from the standard service catalog, and the module reuses whatever is already there rather than creating duplicates — your prices, modifiers and titles are kept exactly as you have them.

Open Service Codes and confirm the prices are what you intend to charge before anybody posts a treatment.

Attach the form to a note segment

1. In ChartPro admin, open Segments and edit the segment you want the panel to appear on.
2. Under Include a Form, choose Acupuncture from the Plan group and save.

Open an encounter on that segment and the acupuncture panel appears in the sidebar.
