Allow Editing Of Surface Painting for Completed Procedures

Currently, once a completed procedure has been attached to an insurance claim, changes cannot the made to the Surface Painting (cusps and pits) for that restoration in the Patient Chart. Since changing Surface Painting is strictly a visual indication for our purposes, and does not change the actual surfaces attached to the restoration code, it would be helpful to be able to modify Surface Painting even after a claim has been generated.

Use case:

  • A procedure is completed, the claim is generated and submitted

  • The doctor reviews the procedures and notes later in the day and recognizes that the surface painting could be improved

  • The surface painting cannot be edited unless the claim is deleted and regenerated
