Here’s how simple it is to add a new patient:

1. After you login to RateFast, click the New Patient icon at the top of the screen.

You can also add other important information—such as the best way to contact them and their social security. This is recommended if you have information handy, but it’s not required.

3. Then, click the “Next” button at the bottom of the screen.

This will take you to the second page of the Add Patient process. These pages give you the option to add less critical information about your patient.

You will have the option to enter some more less critical data. You can always go back and add to this information later.

4. Add any additional information, then click “Done”.
