A recall type defines the different types of patient recalls a practice has set up. If you haven't already read our doc on Patient Recalls, check that out first.
For most EHRs (except Dentrix and Dolphin), recall types will read an interval_unit
(like months denoted "M") and interval_num
which together specify the amount of time before a patient should return for care. In the example below you can see this recall type has a patient returning after 8 months. Other EHR integrations with interval unit and num are forthcoming.
