We will look at:

    • …DrChrono product functionality, defer to existing DrChrono support processes and guidelines.
    • …ID.me functionality, follow the process below for Opening a Case with ID.me Support.

    • Description of the problem
    • Timestamp of the issue (when the issue was experienced by the client)
    • Screenshots of the issue *Very helpful when troubleshooting*
    • Any additional information that may help to troubleshoot the issue

4. Verify the email contains all relevant details before sending it to ID.me.

Note: Emails should NOT contain unnecessary personally identifiable information (PII) or any patient health information (PHI).

ID.me Support Ticket Process

Tickets submitted to ID.me will be handled in the order in which they were received.

  1. ID.me Support receives an email from DrChrono which opens a ticket.
  2. The DrChrono agent who submitted the ticket will receive notification that the ticket has been received. The email will include the following:
    • ID.me Support Ticket Number
  3. ID.Me will triage the case.
    • If additional details are needed, ID.me will contact the DrChrono agent.
    • If no additional details are needed, ID.me will contact the end user directly to resolve the issue.
      • Please note: If a specific time call out from ID.me to a provider is requested, the call-out time is only a request until ID.me Support confirms the call-out appointment time.
      • ID.me Support will attempt to make contact with the end user three times:
        1. Upon ticket receipt
        2. +24 hours after the initial attempt
        3. +48 hours after the initial attempt
        4. At + 72 hours after the initial attempt to contact the end user, If ID.me Support has been unable to make contact with the end user, ID.me will contact the DrChrono agent who submitted the ticket and request help reaching the end user.
          • ID.me will close the ticket at the 72-hour mark and request that the DrChrono agent who submitted the ticket REPLY to the existing email thread which will reopen the ticket, should the end user still need assistance with the issue.
  4. If ID.me is able to make contact with the end user and resolve the issue, ID.me Support will notify the DrChrono agent that the issue is resolved and the ticket has been closed.
    • If ID.me is able to make contact with the end-user and the issue takes greater than 24 hours to resolve, ID.me Support will provide progress updates to the DrChrono agent who submitted the ticket no later than once every 24 hours.
  5. If the issue is determined to not be an ID.me issue, any accumulated additional information will be provided back to the DrChrono agent.
