The primary reason for needing to unsign a SOAP note you've previously signed would be to make necessary edits. You can only edit a signed note by first unsigning it. 

Only the provider associated with a SOAP note has the ability to sign or unsign that note. 

Here's how to unsign a SOAP note: 

1) Navigate to the SOAP note which you would like to edit. 

2) From the SOAP note, you will click the unsign note button. (hint: it's the same button you used to sign the note!). 

3) Make any necessary edits, but be sure to sign & save the note again! 

Note! 

If you have previously printed the note for any reason other than in-office use, OR if the note has a corresponding claim submitted, then you will be alerted prior to unsigning.
