New Task Management in A/R Control
We previously added the ability to add task reminders associated with specific records within more sections of the application (e.g., Claim Control, Claim Tracker, and Statement Tracker) to keep track of items that need to be completed. These tasks can have due dates, links, descriptions, statuses, and priorities, and can be assigned to yourself or to specific users/groups within your business. In this release, we added a new "Task Options" feature within the A/R Control section of the application. This feature allows users to create, manage, reassign, and delete tasks associated with a patient's A/R simply by checking them off. These tasks can also be linked (batched) to multiple patients simultaneously. Please be aware that these task management options are available in Plan 3 and above. Visit our A/R Control Task Options Help Article for more information.
Enhancements
New Admitting Diagnosis Default
We previously added a new "Institutional" Default Codes tab within the patient's Claim Defaults section, allowing users to set default Principal Diagnosis, POA, Other Diagnosis, CPT Codes, or Value Codes to be added to any new institutional claim for the patient. In this release, we added the "Admitting Diagnosis" as a patient claim default for institutional claims. When the default admitting diagnosis is set and the user has enabled the claim setting to "automatically apply the patient's default diagnosis codes on new claims," the admitting diagnosis will automatically be set on new claims created for that patient. For more information on default codes, visit our Configure Patient Claim Defaults Help Article.
Duplicate Remittance Codes Now Allowed if Group Code is Different
Previously, the system prevented adding duplicate adjustment codes on manual insurance payments. In this release, we updated the duplicate checking of remittance codes on insurance payments to account for differing group codes (e.g., OA-109 and PR-109). If a group code is present, the system will prevent a new code entry if that code already exists within the same group or without a group. However, entry is permitted if the group code is different.
Custom Statuses Available as Report Filters
We added support to allow default filter selections and static filter selections on reports to work with custom statuses. This means that when selecting "Claim Status" as a filter on a report, you will be able to select from both standard and custom claim statuses as options for static or default filters.
