Limitations:

- No specific dates (past or present) can be captured within the export. The data snapshot will run at 1:00 AM EST on the scheduled day, therefore the date must be a future date.
- No specific criteria (e.g., Patient or Charge data set info only) can be captured, as the Data Snapshots captures all of the data sets specified above, within your account.
- Document Imaging is NOT included.
- The data can only be used to import into another Practice Management (software) solution.
- In accordance with HIPAA rules and regulations, CollaborateMD will NOT provide users, admins, or third party vendors this information, as the Data Snapshots contain PHI & PII. Authorized Representative on the account must securely provide them the link to the Secure CMD Portal, the login credentials, and instructions on how to download the Data Snapshot.
