Miscellaneous

Miscellaneous section controls certain validations and workflows which are relevant for Billing claims.
Min Charge Amount: User can define a minimum Charge Amt applicable for charge code. This is done to prevent rejections from certain payers who do not process charges with zero $.

Sec By Paper: The checkbox indicates the Secondary Electronic Claim submission is not supported for selected insurance. When Primary EOB is posted for such Insurance, a secondary claim would get queued to Secondary CMS bucket and option – Send Secondary EDI would not be available for such insurances. Please note a property edi.send.sec.evenifpaper : this property is ONLY applicable for Trizetto or Gateway clearinghouse and enabled when practice does not have resources to print claims in-house. When turned ON, PrognoCIS would identify the payers where Sec By Paper checkbox is checked and creates and overrides the settings to create Electronic secondary claims for such payers with a dedicated payer ID – 00010 is used which replaces the payer ID defined for selected payer on Insurance Master.

Anesthesia Minutes On CMS: Checking this box would print Ansesthesia Minutes on claim form.

Subscriber ID Length: User can define length of Subscriber ID in this field. If subscriber ID of selected patient does not match the total length defined here and an error message is displayed while submitting claims

Need Referral: This checkbox indicates referring provider is required for this payer. When checked, Need Referral checkbox is enabled on Patient’s Insurance umbrella which can be used to validate claim submission

UB04 Exception: This checkbox is applicable for UB04 claims only. When checked even if the generated claim is Institutional, user would be able to create / print and submit CMS1500 and its electronic variant for such payer.

Commercial Claim Attachment: PrognoCIS supports Electronic Transmission of Claim Attachments to certain Payors through Jopari Clearinghouse. This checkbox is provided to identify such Payors. When the property, 837.commclaim.attach.usevendor has JOPARI selected, "Commercial Claim Attachment" checkbox on "Insurance Extra Information" popup is checked and "Paper work Send Mode" is selected as "EL - Electronically Only" on the "Additional Claim Information" popup of "Edit Claims" screen then a copy of the Claim is created and Claim Attachments are transferred along with the Claim to supported Clearinghouse Partner or Vendor.

Don't Bill No Show: The checkbox when selected indicates that NO SHOW penalties will not be billed for the selected patient where this insurance is defined as Primary / Secondary or Tertiary.

No Claim Status Check: The purpose of this checkbox is to track the progress for Claim status Inquiry for Secure Connect as there are some Insurances that have a provision that lets the CH login to the Insurance Portal and allow them to look at the claim status. This checkbox when selected helps us identify those insurances which allow Clearing House to see their claim status so that accordingly Clearing House would send one more status back into PrognoCIS.

ePreAuth checkbox: Check this checkbox to sent RFAs electronically. If checked, then the PreAuth Payor ID becomes mandatory and an alert message is displayed: Note: PreAuth Payor ID field is mandatory if ePreAuth box is checked and please contact interface team for further setup of ePreAuth. If unchecked, then the PreAuth Payor ID field becomes disabled, and any value entered in it is retained. If this checkbox is unchecked and saved, then the PreAuth EDI Enabled keywords on Insurance Master are removed.

Hybrid and multilocation clinic users have the flexibility to choose whether to send RFA manually or via EDI for each location for the same EDI Enabled Insurance. For such clinics, a Select Locations for ePreAuth icon appears to the right of this checkbox when it is checked. This icon invokes the PreAuth Location Codes popup which displays Active locations defined on the Locations Master for the clinic, all checked by default. RFAs can be sent electronically (via EDI) only for those locations whose checkboxes are selected from this popup. RFAs for all unselected locations must be processed manually.
Note: If a location is selected from the PreAuth Location Codes popup and is later marked as Inactive from the Locations Master, then that location is no longer displayed in the PreAuth Location Codes popup. Any existing RFAs for this inactive location can still be sent electronically from the PreAuth Tracking screen.

PreAuth Payor ID:   Check the ePreAuth checkbox and enter the PreAuth Payor ID in this field and click on the OK button to enable PreAuth EDI setup for an Insurance. Once the interface team completes the PreAuth EDI setup for the insurance, the keywords PreAuth EDI Enabled are displayed in red font on the top right of the Insurance Master screen for that Insurance. This field accepts only alphanumeric characters and has a limit of 20 characters. Only one single Payor ID can be entered in this field.
