Jan 19 2012  
All ProgramsAll date fields in the Gyntek software are now using JavaScript to validate entry.

If you type in a “H” or “h” in a date field you will get the following alert message showing you the options:
T = Todays Date Range
M = Month Date Range
L = Last Month Date Range
Y = This Years Date Range
1st 3 integers = how many days to add or subtract from todays date.
     ex. -10 = ten days taken off of todays date.
1st 4 characters assumes mmdd format and will add current year automatically
     ex. 0423 will return 04/23/current year
Anything beyond 4 integers tries to figure out what date your trying to enter.
     ex. 42398 will return 04/23/1998
A dash, space, backslash (/), or period will be considered separators.
     ex. 6.4.80 will return 06/04/1980'

The “T”, “M”, “L”, and “Y” options are for date ranges. The validation of a date range is done when action takes place (print report, save, etc.)

Not every date field could be changed because of various actions that take place when a date is entered that are not feasible to do in JavaScript.
Example: Date of Birth field in Patient Information searches for patients with the date entered. If multiple patients are found then it displays the patients for you to select.

Payment EntryWe added several options for this in CPT Code Referral Self Pay/Insurance Type Rates Setup:
1) (Checkbox) Insurance Only: Charge Normal Amount And Immediately Discount Off The Difference
2) (List Boxes) Claim Adjustment Codes

If the Insurance Type is related to insurance you can check/uncheck the new check box. If unchecked you can select the Claim Adjustment Codes.

If the discount is not applied to the charge in Charge Entry, then in Payment Entry / Import 835 (Primary Claims Only) if the Claim Adjustment Code entered in the denial code text box matches up with the CPT Code Referral Self Pay/Insurance Type Rates Setup the discount is calculated to be the Charge Amount - Insurance Type Amount.

The way the Claim Adjustment Code(s) are manually entered into Payment Entry is by an asterisk (*) in the denial code text box.
For Example:
“*96” will result in “96 - NON-COVERED CHG.”
“*1*96*2” will result in “1 - APPLIED TO DEDUCTIBLE | 96 - NON-COVERED CHG. | 2 - APPLIED TO COINSURANCE”

Patient Reconciliation ReportFor the charges, instead of looking to the Ledger for the charges, we are now going back to the actual encounter.

This makes the report a lot more accurate since we are now matching up the encounter to the actual appointment slot. If the encounter cannot be found this way (like they created an encounter in Charge Entry), then it looks for an encounter for the appointment provider from two days prior to the appointment date up to the appointment date. If it cannot be found this way, then it looks for any encounter from two days prior to the appointment date up to the appointment date.

Encounter Matchup Hierarchy:
#1) Encounter created by appointment
#2) Encounter by appointment provider within the past 2 days of the appointment (including appointment date)
#3) Encounter within the past 2 days of the appointment (including appointment date)

A new column called “Not Update” was added to the report. If there is a “Y” in the column then the encounter has not been updated yet (“N” is not shown).

A new exception message has been added: “Encounter Found, No Charges”

So, now the possible exception messages are:
“No Encounter Found”
“Encounter Found, No Charges”
“Charge Provider Does Not Match”

Once a cancellation occurs, the user can select the open appointment slot, and then click on the “WL” button on the Scheduler screen which will open up the Waiting List screen and the “first come first serve patients” list will display with the appointment criteria of the open slot (correct Class so the appropriate time slot will be filled).

Charge Entry: Expanding CPT CodesIf the user inputs an expanding code in which the CPT codes in the expanding code already have a modifier setup, then the added modifiers will be appended.

Example: Expanding code URDOY has the modifier "TC" already attached to the CPT code in this expanding code, so in Charge Entry if you add the modifiers 26,80 in the MOD field and then back up and enter the URODY cpt code, the end result would be TC,26,80.

CollectionsNew custom setting: Collections - Show No Collector (Y/N)? (default "N")

If the custom setting is set to "Y", two things will happen:

2) The "No Collector" or unassigned patients will not be listed for any of the users unless the "No Collector" checkbox is checked.

This gives the clinics the ability to limit the users that can see and assign the patients a collector.

Prompt Pay Payment Fee ScheduleThis is for patients that don’t have insurance, pay cash, and would receive a discounted charge amount

The specification are as follows:

1) CPT Code Information: A "Prompt Pay Default” amount has been added. This will be a dollar amount and will be used as a cash price that will be lower than the "Charge Default" fee for each CPT. On the CPT Code Report, a new option called “Show Only Prompt Pay Charges” has been added and the "Prompt Pay Default” amount has been added to the report.

2) Patient Information: A "Prompt Pay" check box has been added in the Patient Controls to the right of the "Discount" check box. If checked this field will trigger the use of the field in Charge Entry. This identifies the patient as a prompt pay patient that uses the "Prompt Pay" amount to give the patient a discount. A percentage does not have to be entered.

3) Charge Entry: A "Prompt Pay Now" checkbox has been added in the header which if checked will trigger the system to calculate the discount based off of the "Prompt Pay Default” amount in CPT Code Information and the percentage setup in Patient Information. If the "Prompt Pay Now" checkbox is not checked, the discount is the difference between the Charge Amount default and the Prompt Pay Amount default.

Example #1
Charge Amount: $20
Prompt Pay Default Amount: $10
Prompt Pay Discount Percentage (Patient Information): 10%
Prompt Pay Now checkbox: Not Checked
Results: $20 Charge Amount, $10 Discount Amount

Example #2
Charge Amount: $20
Prompt Pay Default Amount: $10
Prompt Pay Discount Percentage (Patient Information): 10%
Prompt Pay Now checkbox: Checked
Results: $20 Charge Amount, $11 Discount Amount

Mark D. Baker
Jan 9 2009  
Claims RefileOn the refile screen, we added a "Void" checkbox.

Like the corrected claim checkbox, this void option is only available for individual claims (where a patient# was entered).

Like the corrected claim checkbox, when the void checkbox is selected an Original Claim Number must be entered.

Example of a voided claim:
CLM*12345-23590*65***11^^8*Y*A*Y*Y*B~
DTP*431*D8*20081222~
DTP*484*D8*20080417~
REF*F8*987654321~

The "8" indicated a voided claim and the "REF" segment gives the Original Claim Number.

This matches up to the example given us in the Claim Filing Guidelines For Voided Claims.

Dec 24 2008  
Correction ReportA new option was added to the Correction Report called "Reflect Refund Business Date (Not Correction Business Date)"

This option will be made visible and default checked when the "Show Refunds Only" option is checked.

This will give the ability to show refund corrections made on the business date of the refund instead of the business date of the correction.

Example:
$10 Refund with a business date of 10/24/2008 was deleted on 12/12/2008

If "Reflect Refund Business Date (Not Correction Business Date)" is checked and a date range of 12/1/2008 - 12/31/2008 the $10 correction would not show

If "Reflect Refund Business Date (Not Correction Business Date)" is checked and a date range of 10/1/2008 - 10/31/2008 the $10 correction would show

Dawn does not want to be able to put in multiple ins types since this is caused by a new Medicare rule. When installed we will need to default this new field to "None" for all of the CPT codes and let them enter a spcecific ins type or "All". Rules: a specific ins type will yield a default mod and % (all other pat that do not have this specific ins type will yield NO default mod and NO %); "All" will yield the default mod and the %; "None" will yield the default mod and disregards the %.Mark D.

Allowable Exceptions ReportThe report has been modified to use the allowed amount that was locked in at the time the panel was accepted.

It was using whatever the allowed amount was setup at the time the report was run. Since some clients reuse the same fee schedule, this scenario made for an inaccurate report.

Patient Recalls
When the provider is changed in the Ledger on a charge, it now updates the non-printed recalls for the patient.

The recall must have been setup by charging the procedure code through Charge Entry.

I also added the provider name and access of the recall to the Recall Setup screen.

Provider Totals-- Adjustments are now split up. Payments show only contra adjustments and Charges show all others.

-- Corrections are no longer added back into the Insurance Paid and Patient Paid amounts, so they are now a true current up to date amount that will match the ledger.

-- Deposits replaced the A/R Totals. These MTD and YTD deposit amounts will match the Deposit Report.

CollectionsIn the "Change Collection Alert", when you change a patient to have a "BD" alert you are now required to assign the collection agency.Mark D. Baker
Sep 19 2006  
CollectionsIn collections, to assign a patient to a collection agency, the only criteria it is now looking for is that the patient has a collection alert of "BD". Before it was making sure it had gone through the collections process. Clients were wanting to send a patient to a collection agency (real or fake one) without having to go through the process of collections. They can give the patient a "BD" alert and then assign them a collection agency.Mark D. Baker
