To All Home Health Clients:
PECOS Type Enhancement
The
Check PECOS Eligibility option in Clinical now updates the Pecos Types
in the Physician record. Previously, only the PECOS Date was updated
when a doctor had any type of PECOS enrollment and the Billing
Pre-Audit's PECOS edit checked for the presence of that date to
determine the doctor's PECOS status.
In Billing Version 1.2.9.18,
the PECOS edit in the Billing Pre-Audit has been changed so that if the
Fail option is selected, any patient whose doctor does not have the HHA
Pecos Type selected will produce an exception.
If the PECOS edit is
selected without the Fail option, patients with the Pecos Date but
without the HHA Pecos Type will produce a Warning on the Ready to Bill
Report. PPS patients without the Pecos Date will always produce a
Failure.
It is recommended to batch
re-run PECOS in Clinical's Physicians library and to re-run the PECOS
check when accessing any active or pre-admit patients' chart/profile.
The PECOS Type selections can be manually confirmed in the Clinical
Physician library and in Billing's Doctor Entity File, Other-Info tab.
PECOS Type Example:
The Doctor List, with Extended Data selected, can be reviewed to confirm the HHA PECOS Type flag:
