If you would like to start collecting patient's social security numbers in Hint please follow the below directions:
Go to Admin>Providers & Patients
Click the Patients tab
Toggle on Enable SSN if you would like the option to collect patients' social security numbers
Toggle on Require SSN selection for every patient to require patients to enter their SSN upon registration. This will also force Hint users to enter a SSN when manually creating a new patient
Once that toggle has been turned on, you can navigate to your online signup form to indicate whether you would like to collect SSN on online signup and if so, whether it is required. (If you have required SSN for every patient toggled on in your 'Practice' section, it will be required on online signup as well)
If SSN is asked for during online signup, patients will see the below field.
To add/edit a patient's SSN
Click on the patient's name
Select 'Edit Patient' on their patient tab that appears on the right
Type their SSN in the SSN field
Viewing a Patient's SSN
If your role is 'Admin' you will have the option to view the entire SSN from the patient's patient tab
