VGPM 1.78 is about making the everyday work of running an ABA practice easier to see and easier to do, starting the moment you log in. This release refreshes the interface, builds goal-progress charts straight into Plan of Care PDFs for authorization renewals, and opens up the aging report so you can trace receivables all the way down to the client.
A Refreshed Interface, the Moment You Log In
The first thing you will notice in 1.78 is the look. The interface has a modern refresh: cleaner navigation, updated styling, and less visual clutter, so the screens you work in all day feel calmer and easier to scan. Nothing moved out from under you. The pages and workflows you know are right where they were, just easier on the eyes.
What's Included
- Modernized visual styling across the platform, in line with the tools your team already uses outside of work
- A reorganized navigation menu that groups related areas together so you click less to get where you are going
- Cleaner spacing and contrast so dense screens read at a glance
- The same pages, buttons, and workflows you already know, with no relearning required
Why This Matters
A tool your team stares at all day quietly shapes how the day feels. A calmer, clearer interface means less friction on every task and a gentler first impression for new hires still finding their way around. The refresh modernizes the look without spending your team's attention on relearning the basics, so the focus stays on clients, not on hunting for a button that moved.
Goal Progress Charts, Built Into the Plan of Care
Authorization renewals are won or lost on documentation, and the heart of that documentation is proof that goals are moving. Until now, getting each goal's progress graph into a Plan of Care meant exporting charts one by one and assembling them by hand. VGPM 1.78 builds the charts into the Plan of Care PDF itself, so the evidence of progress travels with the plan.
What's Included
- Set the charting window for the Plan of Care, framed around the authorization period under review
- A per-goal checkbox controls which goals appear, with baseline, active, and maintenance goals included by default
- Charts render in the PDF with the same visuals clinicians already read in the program book
- Each chart is a locked, point-in-time snapshot tied to that Plan of Care, so a submitted plan always shows exactly what was reviewed
- Regenerate the charts when the underlying data changes, on your schedule
- Chart generation status is visible right in the PDF preview, so you know the plan is ready before it goes out
Why This Matters
For a payer, a clear progress graph is the difference between an approved renewal and a request for more information. Embedding charts in the Plan of Care turns hours of manual assembly into part of the document you were already building, and the point-in-time snapshot means the record of medical necessity stays defensible long after the renewal is filed. This is ABA data collection doing the heavy lifting for ABA authorization tracking, so the BCBA preparing a renewal at the end of a long day has less to chase and more to show.
How to Enable
- Open the client's Plan of Care.
- Set the charting window for the period you want the charts to cover.
- Use the per-goal checkboxes to choose which goals' charts appear in the PDF.
- Save the plan to generate the chart snapshots, and watch the generation status in the PDF preview.
- Regenerate later if the underlying goal data changes before you submit.
Aging Report, Now Down to the Client
Knowing a payer owes you money is one thing. Knowing which clients sit inside that balance, and how long the money has been outstanding, is what actually gets it collected. VGPM 1.78 opens up the aging report so a payer total is no longer a dead end.
What's Included
- Expand any payer row to reveal per-client aging underneath it
- See every balance sorted into clear aging buckets: 0-30, 31-60, 61-90, 91-180, and 180+ days
- Export a per-payer, per-client CSV alongside the existing payer-level export, so the breakdown carries into whatever you do next
- Recalculate the report on demand, with a clear timestamp showing exactly how current the numbers are
Why This Matters
Aging is where revenue quietly slips away, one stalled client balance at a time. When a payer total breaks open into the specific clients behind it, your billing team can work the oldest, largest balances first instead of guessing where to start, and that focus is what keeps cash flow steady. For practices that would rather hand the follow-up off entirely, the same receivables can be worked by VG Soft Co's RCM service, ABA-specialized billing with a transparent, claim-by-claim view of every dollar in flight. Either way, the drill-down turns the aging report from a number you watch into a worklist you can act on, and it pairs with the rest of VGPM's ABA billing software so the path from claim to collection stays in one place.
Also in This Release
VGPM 1.78 also includes performance improvements and bug fixes to enhance platform stability and reliability. Among them: a service level is now required when editing a client, not just when creating one, and the replacement-supervisor prompt now appears whenever you deactivate someone who supervises others, so coverage never falls through the cracks.
VGPM is the all-in-one ABA practice management platform built for streamlined operations: billing-optimized, automation-first, and simple enough for teams to learn in hours, at a flat rate per staff per month. This release puts a calmer interface in front of your team, the proof of progress inside every Plan of Care, and the path to your receivables one click deeper, so more of the day belongs to care.
