Treatment Plan Types

Treatment Plan Types allows practices to configure their treatment plans by adding/removing fields and setting some default values (like review cycles and signers), and to have more than one treatment plan per patient.. Treatment Plan Types enable practices to customize their treatment plans for their unique use cases, often by payer or modality.

There is a default Treatment Plan Type called "Valant Treatment Plan" which can be used right away without making any changes, if desired. 

Users with Treatment Plan Admin permission will see the Treatment Plan Admin option in the left navigation menu. 

This article will cover in detail how to add a new Treatment Plan Type, and then address how to clone a Treatment Plan Type
