CentralReach Power Tools

Streamline your session note review and signing workflow

Version 2.3.3

What's New in v2.3.3

New Expanded Payor Coverage

Added 383 additional insurance plans — including Aetna, Cigna, United Behavioral, Kaiser, TRICARE, Magellan, Beacon, Carelon, Meritain, CareSource, state Medicaids for AZ/NC/FL/CA/OK/CO/MO/KS/OH/SC/MI/OR, plus regional centers, school contracts, and VHA. Notes for these payors now show a colored badge in the resources grid instead of the default manual red, so you can identify them at a glance. The Recognized Payors table below is now generated directly from the extension's plan data so it always reflects what your installed version actually supports.

Fixed Payor Label Lookups Now Cached

The payor label next to each note name is now cached per session, so scrolling the resources grid no longer re-fetches the same payors over and over. Caching is also shared across all notes belonging to the same client, so a filter that returns dozens of sessions for one client only needs a single lookup. Together these eliminate the spike in redundant API calls that previously happened during large Quick Review runs.

New Note-Template Agnostic Signing

Bulk signing no longer assumes a fixed set of section names. The extension now opens the section list, tries known section names first, and otherwise iterates through any non-Header/Footer sections (using "Change Section" to navigate between them) until it finds the supervisor signature. This means many more note templates work out of the box without code changes.

Improved Clearer Error Messages in the Failed-Notes Report

When a note can't be signed because its supervisor signature has no contact assigned yet, the failed-notes list now says "Signature not assigned to a contact — assign it on the note first" instead of the misleading "Could not find signature field". Once the contact is assigned on the note, those same notes sign through normally on the next bulk run.

Get Started

For the Google Chrome web browser only

Installation

Follow these steps to install the extension in Chrome:

Download the ZIP File

Click the "Download v2.3.3" button above. The file cr-power-tools-v2.3.3.zip will be saved to your Downloads folder.

Locate the Downloaded File

Open File Explorer and navigate to your Downloads folder (usually C:\Users\YourName\Downloads). You should see the file cr-power-tools-v2.3.3.zip.

Extract the ZIP File

Right-click on cr-power-tools-v2.3.3.zip and select "Extract All...". In the dialog that appears, click "Extract". This will create a new folder called cr-power-tools-v2.3.3 containing the extension files.

Verify the Extracted Folder

You should now have a folder called cr-power-tools-v2.3.3 containing a file named manifest.json along with several others. Two things to check:

  • If extraction dropped the files loose (you see manifest.json and the other files directly in your Downloads folder, not inside their own folder): create a new folder named cr-power-tools-v2.3.3 and move all the extracted files into it. Chrome's "Load unpacked" needs a folder to point at, not loose files.
  • If you see another folder nested inside the extracted folder: open the inner folder — that's the one with manifest.json and the one you'll select in the next steps.

Open Chrome Extensions

Open Google Chrome. Type chrome://extensions/ in the address bar and press Enter.

Enable Developer Mode

In the top-right corner of the Extensions page, toggle on "Developer mode". You should see new buttons appear at the top of the page.

Load the Extension

Click the "Load unpacked" button at the top-left. In the file browser that opens, navigate to the extracted folder that contains manifest.json, select it, and click "Select Folder".

Pin the Extension

Click the puzzle piece icon in the Chrome toolbar (top-right), then click the pin icon next to "CentralReach Power Tools" so it's always visible. The extension icon will appear red initially — this is normal.

Troubleshooting: "manifest.json" error when loading

If Chrome says it can't find manifest.json, you likely selected the wrong folder. Make sure you select the folder that directly contains manifest.json, not a parent folder. Open the extracted folder and check — if there's a subfolder inside, select that subfolder instead.

FAQ

Why is the extension icon red?

The icon is red when you're not on a CentralReach page with unsigned notes. Navigate to your unsigned notes and the icon will turn green.

The signing process stopped. What should I do?

Check your internet connection. If stable, refresh the page and try again.

What's the difference between Quick Review and Batch Sign All?

Quick Review signs only the notes you've selected with checkboxes. Batch Sign All queues all your unsigned notes at once, regardless of selection.

Is my data secure?

Yes. The extension runs in your browser using your existing CentralReach session. Signing progress data is sent to an internal BlueSprig API to track completion, but no session note content is transmitted.

How do I skip a problematic note?

Press the S key during signing to skip the current note and continue.

How do I update to a new version?

The extension updates automatically. If you need to manually update, download the new version, remove the old extension from Chrome, and install the new one.
