Release 1.2.8.80 Changes
Billing Pre-Audit Report
- A
new edit check "Discharge date found and no billable visits" has been
added to the PPS Final Pre-Audit report to check for patients with a
discharge date within the billing period that have no billable visits
for that period. This change is to accommodate the CMS directive to
send corrected final claims with a discharge patient status code for these
patients (https://www.cms.gov/files/document/r10987cp.pdf). Refer to the Billing Pre-Audit Guide for more information on this edit.
- The
PPS Final Pre-Audit will now fail for "Required authorization UTN has
not been entered" when the Medicare insurance is configured to require
authorizations and an authorization record is not present for the
billing period. Refer to the Review Choice Demonstration FAQ for more information.
To All Clients:
Release 1.2.8.80 Changes
A/R Activity Report
Prior
to this release, clients running the A/R Activity Report for all of
time may have experienced slowness and in
some cases it may not have finished generating if too many records
were processed. To address this, prior zero balance A/R
records are no longer being included on the report. Agencies with old
A/R may notice a slight difference in their Beginning Balance starting
with this version due to older deleted A/R records. Please contact Netsmart Support at https://netsmartconnect.com with any questions.
