Recall and Hygiene due dates in Carecru example:
Note: As part of the initial setup, CareCru has already set up which Continuing Care types will signify “hygiene” and which will signify “recall" exams. A date for RC for instance will usually set the “Due for Recall Exam” date. Whereas the date for SC or PERIO, will set the “Due for Hygiene” date. If you’d like to see the exact list of types that CareCru has mapped to Hygiene or Recall, simply reach out to our Customer Success team and they can provide it to you.
**If you add any new procedures, please let the Customer Success team know so we can map accordingly.
