Manage all patient documents from one central location. Access Photo IDs, Insurance Cards, and Consent Forms submitted through surveys, or upload your own documents and organize them into custom folders for easy, clean access.
Where to find Patient Documents
In the patient's record, navigate to Chart and then to Documents.
How to organize your documents
🌟 1. System Folders
System folders are default folders in ChiroUp that automatically store files submitted by patients through surveys. When a patient completes a Photo ID survey, Insurance survey, or Consent Form, the uploaded files will be saved to the corresponding System folder in Patient Documents.
To add files to a System folder, you can either send the appropriate survey to the patient or upload the documents manually. Photo IDs can be uploaded from the General tab of the patient's record, and Insurance Cards can be uploaded from the Insurance tab.
💡Pro Tip: If you've previously uploaded documents to a patient's chart as a Manual Entry, you'll find those files in the Manual Entries system folder. This folder only appears for patients who have at least one manually uploaded document.
🌟 2. Custom Clinic Folders
Create clinic-wide document folders to standardize document organization across all patient records. These folders automatically appear in every patient's Documents section, while the contents of each folder remain specific to that patient.
To create your custom Clinic Folders, navigate to Clinic Settings > General.
At the bottom of your screen, click Manage Folders.
Here, click New Folder to create a new Clinic folder.
Click the ellipsis next to each folder to rename, change color, add subfolder, or move the folder.
Clinic folders in the patient's Documents will be represented with a blue globe icon.
Click Upload or drag and drop files directly into the folder to populate it. Folders are standard to all patient records, but folder contents is patient-specific.
🌟 3. Patient Folders
Create patient-specific folders to organize documents that are unique to a patient and not part of your clinic’s default folder structure.
Click the gear icon next to Folders in the patient's Documents.
Click New Folder.
Enter name of patient-specific folder. Then, click Done.
Click Upload or drag and drop files to populate the folder!
💡Pro Tip: Best Practice Folder Naming System
We do not default a standard “Clinic Folder” structure to allow flexibility for your clinic's specific workflow. However, Clinic Folder names apply system-wide to all patients, and changing or deleting them can be difficult once documents are in use. We recommend setting your folder structure before adding documents. Below is a sample structure:
External Clinical Records:
Prior SOAP notes from other providers
Outside clinical records and referrals
Billing & Insurance:
EOBs, claims, prior authorizations
Payer correspondence and disputes
Insurance-related documents not stored in structured fields
Legal & Attorney
Liens and letters of protection
Attorney correspondence
ME-related documents
Work, School & Disability
Work restriction notes and return-to-work documentation
FMLA paperwork
Disability forms and certifications
School-related excuse or clearance notes
General Documents
Patient-provided documents
General correspondence (non-legal, non-billing)
Administrative items
Any document that does not clearly fit into the above categories
