When you agree to accept Telehealth bookings (which are booked into your “Open” schedule) from Converge International, and you need to rebook the client you are expected to rebook them into your Telehealth “Open” (Open) schedule and continue seeing them at the agreed telehealth Telehealth (openOpen) rate for the entirety of their telehealth Telehealth appointments with you.
In the instance you have agreed with the client to see them outside of your Telehealth “Open” (Open) schedule, you still must continue seeing them at the Telehealth “Open” (Open) schedule rate, so this instance is agreed upon at your discretion. In this instance you will not be able to use the “Rebook with me” feature and will need to rely on the Manual booking option. For this instance, you can use this guide to book your client manually into your Telehealth “Open” (Open) schedule to connect the appointment to the correct rate.
Please note- the only exception to rebook Telehealth (Open) clients into your Adhoc schedule, is if they are wanting an ‘in person’ appointment with you or are extremely high risk and cannot wait until your next available Telehealth (Open) slot (if they are extremely high risk, we recommend you advise them to call the Centre to be booked with a crisis counselor immediately).
Step 1: Accessing Quick View actions
After logging in, your default home page is Quick View, which can also be accessed via the left menu, if needed.
Find the clients' last appointment on the Quick View page then click the green “Commence” button from the Appointment Actions column on the right side.

The Quick View page is split into 3 sections - Appointments not started, Appointments in Progress and Appointments recently completed. Your clients' last appointment will be in the “Appointments Recently Completed” section or, if you haven’t yet commenced the last appointment, it will be in the “Appointments Not Started” section. |
Step 2: Review client session summary
Next, a pop-up will appear where you can review information before continuing.
Review the client session summary and the available session count.
Click “Continue to Rebook”

Step 3: Select booking approach
During downtime of rebook with me, select If wanting to see a client outside of your Telehealth (Open) schedule, select the Manual booking option.
