Using the PI Card for Detailed PI Case Tracking

The PI Card is the core tool for managing personal injury cases and appears directly in the Patient Management Report (and other reports like Patient Search, Appointment Report, and Weekly Patients).

How to Open and Use the PI Card

  1. In the Patient Management Report, click the PI Card icon next to any patient.

  2. The PI Card has three tabs:

    • PI Management

    • Outside Services

    • Case Management

  3. Update any fields - TrackStat automatically adds or updates tags on the patient. These tags make it easy to filter the report and identify patients at specific stages of their PI case.

Step-by-Step: Managing PI Cases with the Patient Management Report

  1. Open the Patient Management Report from the left sidebar (3 heads icon).

  2. Set the date filter (most often Visit Date for active PI cases), choose Start/End Dates, and click Load.

  3. Click the PI Card icon for any patient and complete the relevant fields across the three tabs. Tags will update automatically.

  4. Add dated, initialed notes in the Patient Notes section (newest at top).

  5. Use the filter icon to narrow by tags, Status, Attorney, Insurance Company, etc.

  6. Sort by Next Follow Up Date, Account Balance, Insurance Balance, or Attorney to prioritize follow-ups.

  7. Set or update Next Follow Up Date to stay on top of attorney/insurance contacts.

  8. Scan for missing data (Insurance Company, Diagnosis, Injury Date, Attorney) and update your EHR/EMR.

  9. Export the filtered view as .csv if needed (Admin users only).

Best Practices

  • Complete the PI Card early (first or second visit) so tags apply immediately.

  • Create consistent custom Statuses that match your workflow (e.g., In Treatment → Billed → Litigation → Settled).

  • Review the report weekly; use the upper-left patient count to track active PI caseload.

  • Combine filters (e.g., Visit Date + specific Attorney + positive Account Balance + “Billed” tag) for targeted collections lists.

  • Exclude non-relevant patients using tag filters (employee, family, not qualified).

Troubleshooting / Common Questions

Why isn’t a patient showing up? Their First Visit Date, Visit Date, or Injury Date is outside the selected range. Broaden the dates and click Load.

Why is $/Visit unusually high? The patient likely prepaid for a care package with visits remaining. It normalizes after completion.

Can I see attorney and referral details? Yes - dedicated columns for Attorney, Attorney Contact, Attorney Phone, and Referred by.

Does TrackStat show total practice A/R or aging? No - balances appear only for patients with visits in the selected date range.
