Overview

The Connect Mobile Assistant (CMA) app can be accessed on an Apple or Android device like an iPad, iPhone, Galaxy phone, or Galaxy tablet. CMA is not currently available for tablet PCs such as a Surface. The device must be using Apple’s iOS or Google’s Android platform. CMA allows you to enter case information at the point of care.

CMA is a mobile application designed to assist the providers with their day-to-day at the facility if their billing office does not have access to the facility EMR System or the facility is too far from the office. CMA allows the provider to enter cases live.

CMA is a mobile live Connect database native to the device and the following needs to be understood before beginning:

Perform the following tasks in CMA:

  • Validate Cases
  • Submit Cases

 




Frequently Asked Questions

Question

Answer

What happens to a case once it is submitted to Back Office?

Once a case is submitted to Back Office from your device, it is immediately available to be utilized in a new Charge Batch. The location of the case in Back Office is dependent upon whether images are attached.

Can I access other Providers’ appointments from CMA?

How do I reset my password if it is forgotten?

Password resets need to be performed by your Practice’s administrator user or if you have access to CONNECT or Back Office.

Can I modify a case that has already been submitted to Back Office?

Once a case is submitted to Back Office, it can no longer be modified from your device. Changes must be made during case completion in Back Office.
