# Self check-in in Legend EHR

Legend EHR offers a self check-in feature that allows patients to complete their visit check-in digitally without front-desk assistance. This improves workflow efficiency and reduces waiting time.

## Eligibility for self check-in

Legend EHR imposes some conditions for patients who can self check-in:

- **Scheduled appointment on current date**

The system allows self check-in only when the patient has an active appointment scheduled for the current date.

- **Established Patients**

Self Check-In is available only for patients who have previously visited the practice.

- **Financial Threshold**

Patients whose **copay + outstanding balance is less than $100** are eligible.

- **Appointment Time Window**

Patients can only use Self Check-In within the time window defined by the practice for their scheduled appointment. Legend allows                  practices to set two limits: an **early check-in threshold** and a **late check-in threshold**.

Patients who arrive before the allowed early check-in time cannot self check in until they fall within the permitted window. Similarly,    patients who arrive after the late check-in time cannot self check-in.

- **Insurance information updates**

Patients who need to update their insurance information will have to go through the manual check-in process with the front-desk

## Configuring appointment time window

You can configure early and late check-in time for your office through **Settings > Practices > Manage Location > Location settings**

- Go to Settings
- Go to Practices
- Go to Manage Locations
- Click on Settings icon for the relevant location
- Add early check-in time
- Add late check-in time
