A microchip number is usually added when a microchip is implanted during a consultation. You can add the number from the consultation page, for a single patient or for several patients at once.
The microchip dialog opens automatically only for procedure items that have microchipping selected in the Special procedure setting. See Set and Use Special Procedures.
Note: The new consultation page is being released during September 2026. You can switch between versions at any time from the top of the consultation page. This article covers how to add a new microchip in both.
