If user tries to attach a document with any other extension then on Attach an alert message saying Only Specified Extensions Allowed: jpg, gif, jpeg, bmp, tif, tiff, pdf is displayed. On successful attachment of document a message saying The file is attached and saved is displayed. Attached document can be viewed only for that particular Claim Id. (There are two ways to view attached document - Claims Screen and on Attach icon).

It is helpful to identify patient if duplicate first name and last name exists in the system. If patient is minor then DOB is displayed in red colorr.

Patient Alert: Patient alert is a pop up alert window that works as a reminder for user regarding the respective patient. There are several parameters that govern the occurrence of the pop up patient alert message. After the alert is added the icon turns red. The icon is governed by three properties:

  • patient.alert.hide.afterdays - This property decides the maximum number of days for which an alert an alert is visible from the day alert created/ Effective from date.   
  • facesheet.showalert.fortypes -This property controls the occurrence of patient alert pop up. Here out of all parameters PA controls the patient alerts.
  • appointment.show.patientalert - Occurrence of patient alert pop up on the appointment screen is governed by this property. If this property is set to Y then the patient alert pop up is shown on the load of the screen but if the property is set to N then the patient alert pop up is not visible. However the patient alert icon continues to show red if the valid alert is present.
DOS: This displays the date of service on which encounter was created.

Therefore, Sent Date is the last updated date on which Claim was reopened and processed. Dco No./ Voucher number of Billed Claim is displayed right after 'Sent Date' for 'Billed' Claim.

Edi Batch Number:After Sent date, EDI batch number is generated, if Claim is sent via EDI.

This Creation of Batch number is dependent on Property 837.oneclaim.perbatch. If 837.oneclaim.perbatch property is turned ON, one EDI Message will be generated per claim and hence a separate EDI Batch No. This EDI Batch No. is displayed on the claim. By default this property is ON. When turned OFF, all selected claims for processing from all Insurances will be considered in one EDI message and all these claims will get same EDI Batch No. assigned. If further, separate batches are required for specific payors, then their Payor IDs should be added in property 837.inswise.payorids4claimsbatch.Property 837.inswise.payorids4claimsbatch: Defines a comma separated list of Payor Ids for whom single EDI message will be generated for multiple claims or if set to ALL then, all selected claims for processing from all Insurances will be considered in one EDI message and all these claims will get same EDI Batch No assigned.

Type of Claim Checkboxes

Work Comp Employment, Auto Accident and Other Accidents     

Accidental Claims can be created when Encounter type is defined as Work Comp or Auto Accident and patient insurance has defined 'Work Comp' or 'Auto accident'. User can create an Accidental claim directly from Claims → New by selecting Encounter type as Workers Compensation. If user creates a Claim with Encounter type as workers Comp but Insurance is not defined as 'Workers Comp', then on Ready to send and save user gets a message saying Pri Ins status is not Workers Comp. If Patient do not have any Insurance and on Claims → New screen if user select Encounter type as Workers Comp then a self-pay Claim gets created, which do not have 'Work comp' check box checked. These check boxes govern whether the created claim is of Type accident claim or not. When any of these check boxes are checked, then all three checkboxes are heighted in Red.

ICD Table

The table comprise of Codes for Diagnosis. It is diagnostic codes entered by Provider or Doctor from EMR module and are transferred through assessment screen to Claims when encounter is closed and Claims are created. Here Biller can add, update or delete them if required.

When Claims are created from Claims New screen then ICD codes are not available. ICD codes are manually entered using '+' icon and these are added at ‘Claim Level’. ICD codes are printed on Cell21 of CMS1500 and at the most, twelve ICD codes are allowed to print and added at Claim level. Maximum number of ICDs’ which can be entered is governed by cms1500.max.icds. By default, it is set as 12.

Diagnosis Codes Popup: When Claim is created from EMR side, the ICD's on assessment which are marked as 'Bill' and are not marked as 'Non-Assessment' ICD's and which are not Duplicate on Assessment only those ICD's will be transferred on Claim. But, if Claim is created from Billing, then user has to manually click on '+' button and add those ICD codes. On Clicking + button of ICD popup with 4 tabs gets Invoked these tabs are General, Custom, preferred and Drilldown. The sequence of tabs is based on property icd.search.tabs.sequence.

Preferred: There are three types of preferred list, CP – Clinic preferred, MP – Medic Preferred and DS – Doctor Specialty. Preferred list changes with the change in login entity. The popup displays Description followed by ICD9 codes, ICD10 codes, SNOMED Int'l and Type. Column ICD9 display the list if ICD9 codes, column ‘ICD10’ display ICD10 codes corresponding to ICD9 codes.

If user enters exact ICD number, then the list of that exact ICD code is given where it might have different Description and different Snomed combination.

Custom: This column displays the list of custom ICDs created manually.

Drill Down: From the General tab, users have provision to select ICD 10 codes alternatively to the preexisting ICD 9 code – this provision gives User a choice to select the appropriate code for the appropriate diagnosis at a granular level.

Whereas, on the Drill Down tab, for each of these specific conditions there is a possibility for a User to ‘DRILL' the Search further to get to the exact ICD10 code that depicts the patient's pregnancy condition very specifically. The provision to actually drill further on the IMO search popup and find the appropriate ICD10 codes for the condition experienced by the Patient is the functionality available on the 'Drill-Down' tab. UI of Drill Down tab is quite different from other tabs. Icons present in the Drill Down screen are:

Location: Location is the venue or place where Provider or Doctor had examined the patient. Default location in Encounter is displayed in the dropdown list. But it can be changed if required for specific Claim. It can be configured from Settings → Configuration → Clinic →Locations.

Buttons Governing Charge Code

After Claim is created from EMR side, when doctor add CPT/HCPC/Modifiers and ICD's to Assessment and load the Claim without visiting the Encounter close screen, then on load of Claim user gets validation message saying Assessment has been changed after last save of Claim. This is when EMR code button is enabled and on clicking the button user can add changed assessment data on Claim.

Copy Codes: The purpose of this button is to enable user to copy CPT/HCPC Codes for the Patient from his existing Claims. Codes will get copied despite of the fact whether the claim is in Billed statuses.

CrossOver: Usually, it is not recommended to send non-standard code to Insurances, CrossOver feature enable users to cross over the non-standard CPT/HCPC with the defined CPT/HCPC along with modifier.This functionality is used to change or replace one code with another.  For example, on CPT Master for charge code 99203, a CoCPT 99213 is defined with modifier 21. Now, whenever charge code '99203' is used in claim and button 'Crossover' is used for this charge code then existing code '99203' would be replaced with code '99213' having modifier '21.    

Cheatsheet: CheatSheet is a list of customized validations maintained by Clinic for different Insurances. These validations in CheatSheet evaluate the claims while processing for sending claim to insurance company. Biller can implement various validations according to the distinct requirement so that claims are not rejected by Insurance companies for stringent requirement specific to Insurance Company. Cheatsheet acts as a check list for the users to check the details filled in the claim to minimize or eliminate the possibility of rejection from the insurance companies. CheatSheet can be created with the help of .xls file from Claims Edit Claims CheatSheet. An .xls file can be downloaded by clicking on the ‘Download’ icon and after defining the CheatSheet validations the sheet can be uploaded by clicking the ‘Attach’ icon.

Action Checkboxes

Add Tax: Users can calculate tax for a new claim or for existing claim by checking the Add Tax checkbox. The functionality will be governed by two properties
claim.tax.percentage
claim.tax.charge.code


In the first property user need to set appropriate percentage value without percentage symbol. The property supports value upto 4 decimals. In the second property user need to add appropriate CPT/ HCPCS. It is only when appropriate Charge code is added to this property the Add Tax checkbox appears on Claims Edit Claims screen

Workflow

When the Add Tax checkbox is checked a new row will get added on the claim with Non Standard or Standard CPT/HCPCS code defined in the property. Tax amount will be calculated as per the Percentage defined in the property claim.tax.percentage.
If the property claim.tax.charge.code is blank then Add Tax Checkbox is not displayed on Edit Claims screen.
When a Non Standard code is added on the claim and user clicks on Add Tax Checkbox, the latest amount against the charge code will get updated.
User can delete the code and re-add it.
User can modify the fee; however, after clicking the Add Tax Checkbox, the amount will be recalculated.
Add Tax will remain Checked when Tax is added on the claim
If user deletes the Tax code (Or Charge Code defined in the property claim.tax.charge.code) from the claim then checkbox Add Tax will get unchecked.
Tax amount will not consider the Voided Charge Codes for computing Taxes.
When Claim is Billed & Tax is already added on the claim, Add Tax Checkbox will be disabled and checked.
When claim is billed and Tax is not added on the claim, Add Tax Checkbox should be disabled and unchecked.


Limitations:

User can change the Charge Code defined in the property: claim.tax.charge.code any time.
If Tax code is already used on the claim and is changed Later, New code will be used to calculate the Tax on claim.
If in the property claim.tax.charge.code a particular charge code is defined but the Claim does not have any charge code & User checks the Add Tax checkbox to add Tax on claims, PrognoCIS will add the Tax code defined in the property with $0 amount.
If Charge Code other than Tax Code is voided after Claim is billed (By reopening the claim and using CMS Flag button), then user will explicitly have to void the charge code for Tax as well and reenter the same to ensure accurate Tax is reported on the claim.
When Claim with Calculated Tax is reopened and user tries to add /Void or Delete Charge Codes, then user needs to ensure Tax Code also is voided. New Tax Amount on such claims has to be calculated manually.
