Mark D. Baker
Print Recalls The Print Recalls were modified to print the next appointment date within the recall message based on the following criteria:

1) The next appointment date is calculated by adding the Days After Recall For Appt Due to the recall send on or after date.
2) If the text !DATE! is located in the recall notice message, it will be replaced by the next appointment date.

The following label was added under the Recall Notice message in the Recall Setup screen:
(Enter !DATE! for Next Appointment Date Placement)

Appointments If the date the user is trying to add/edit the appointment is older than the current date, they will receive the following alert message:

Add/Edit is not allowed. This appointment date is older than the current date.
Mark D. Baker
Charge Entry: Expanding CPT Codes If 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.

EOM A/R Report An "Exclude Zero Balances" checkbox option was added to the right of the Responsible Entity options. The default is not checked.

When this option is checked, if a patient has some unapplied credits and the account is zero then this patient will not print on the report.

Example: In the ledger in the remaining mode, if a patient has a $10 balance on a charge and a ($10) credit on another charge, the patient balance is zero. This patient would not show on the report.

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

New security level for Collections: Show No Collector (defaulted to 5)

If the custom setting is set to "Y", two things will happen:
1) If the user has a high enough security, they will see a "No Collector" checkbox to the right of the Collector dropdownlist. If checked, then all of the "No Collector" or unassigned patients will be listed.
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.
Mark D. Baker
Collection Letters

Added a provider option to the collection letters so each collector can print the letters for their provider when they are ready without waiting on other collectors to be ready to print all the letters. This is helpful when collectors are assigned a specific provider.

Prompt Pay Payment Fee Schedule This 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

No additional setup is required from the clients. A conversion of the mammo charges will be done for them.
Mark D. Baker
    
Jan 9 2009    
Claims Refile On 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.
Mark D. Baker

Dec 24 2008    
Correction Report A 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

Dec 11 2008

Sep 23 2008    
Charge Entry Added a new field in the CPT Code screen for "Modifier & % for Ins Type (only): " in which the modifier code and the % of increase or decrease would apply to the entry of this new field; all other patients that did not have the entered ins type would not default the modifier or the % in charge entry. 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 %.

Allowable Exceptions Report The 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.

The report will only allow you to use date ranges from today forward since we just started keeping up with the allowed amounts when the panel was accepted.

Patient Information OB Box: A trap was added to stop the users from accidentally entering an EDD that is not within a past 30 day window of today’s date, i.e. today is 12/21/07, so the oldest EDD date that could be added is 11/19/07.

A trap was added to stop the user form entering a future EDD date of 1 year from today’s date, i.e. today is 12/21/07 so do not allow an EDD in the future past 12/21/08.

Charge Entry New Custom Setting: If Charge Is Within OBPRE And Delivery/Terminate Dates, Then Always Default O Production Mark D. Baker
    
Oct 26 2006    
Collections When a patient goes to collections (turns BD - Bad Debt), all charges with a remaining balance are marked as collections.

When the BD alert is removed/changed the charges marked as collections will be unmarked.

As long as a patient is BD, a collection balance will display in the patient include to the right of the patient balance. The background color of the collection balance will match the BD alert color.

On the ledger, the cpt codes marked as collection will also be highlighted using the same color as the BD alert.

In ledger charge corrections a checkbox was added to mark/unmark charges for collections.

Sep 19 2006    
Collections In 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
