Gender Drop Down Options

Please add additional options under the gender drop down selection on a patient's demographic section, as the binary options of "female" and "male" are not inclusive. There should be options for non-binary, other, etc.

    Admin response

    We appreciate everyone’s voice and input on the subject of Gender as it impacts abilities to both verify insurance while respecting a patient’s identity preference in communications.

    To support both needs, WebPT EMR has renamed the current Gender field to Sex to more accurately capture the administrative sex reported to payers. An optional Gender Identity and a Pronouns field have been added and are also associated with a company setting, allowing members to determine if they want to incorporate on their patient information and intake forms.

    The final phase of this project expands those sex (“administrative”) options with intersex, unknown and other which will map to U (unknown) for insurance verification; a company setting to allow these non-binary sex options will be provided.

    Please, please implement this option ASAP. I understand the insurance concerns, but think it could be solved with making 2 categories- one for legal sex and one for gender. Thank you!
