Merge a Patient Account

CollaborateMD allows you to merge two duplicate patient accounts. The merge looks for identical Patient First and Last Name, DOB, SSN, Member ID, Home Phone, Addresses, and Zip Codes. Merging will transfer financial data, activity, notes, and appointments from the selected accounts to the currently opened patient account.
