BILLING MENU OPTIONS

 

 

Worker

 

Statement

 

Batch of Patients

 

This menu option is used to print a statement and a claim form for a single worker or a small batch of workers. Very often Workers Compensation Insurance billing, statements, and Proof of Service for patients' accounts are set up for automation so this screen would be most useful for printing specific claims.

 

For billing and rebilling, these conditions must exist:

 

A charge/date of service exists within the requested date range.

 

The requested insurance(s) is listed as one of the patient's insurance screen(s).

 

The date(s) of service must fall within the patient's insurance screen's <Coverage From> and <Coverage To> date range.

 

Note: When a patient changes insurance, the old insurance information should be left in the patient's demographic screens until all charges/payments have been completed for the old carrier. If the old insurance is removed prior to completion of charges/payments, Intellect does not generate the information for the old insurance on the statements.

 

See details for opening and populating the Print BOP Worker screen.

 


 

Updates:

 

Effective Version 9.12.34

The 'B' option added in version 9.12.30 (see entry below) to the drop-down menu of the <Billing Sorting> field on the Utility --►Set Up --►Parameter screen was removed. The function of the 'B' option is now performed by the 'Batch' option on the new <Batch Sorting> field added to the Utility --►Set Up --►Parameter screen; i.e., the 'Batch' option sorts the batch in the order the accounts were entered into the Batch Entry screen.

 

The system uses the <Batch Sorting> field to sort the results when printing a report or form from Batch of Patient screens in Billing --►Insurance, Billing --►Statement, Billing --►Worker --►Statement, Billing --►Worker --►HCFA forms, and Billing --►Worker --►Attorney.

 

The sort options are:

 

 


 

Effective Version 9.12.30

A new 'B' option was added to the drop-down menu of the <Billing Sorting> field on the Utility --►Set Up --►Parameter screen:

 

 

As shown in the Description above, option 'B' is used only for Batch of Patient tasks.

 

If option 'B' is selected when running tasks using Batch of Patients, the billing is in the order the account numbers were entered on the Billing --►Worker --►Statement--►Batch of Patients screen.

 

If option 'B' is selected when running tasks using Group of Patients, it is as if option 'A' had been selected in the <Billing Sorting> field since the results are ordered by Account Number.

 

This change affects Billing --► Insurance, Billing --►Worker --►Statement, Billing --► Worker --► HCFA Form, and Billing --►TeleCom --►Submit Claims.  

 

The new option does not affect Billing --►Statement, Billing --►Worker --►Letter, Billing --►Worker Attorney, or Billing --►Company Statement.

 


 

Effective Version 9.12.15

Clients can now print the Adjuster Name on the top right corner of the Worker Compensation paper claim. However, there are three requirements which must be met for the name to print:

 

a - For each insurance being used, the <Print Name on Claim> field must be set to X - Print the Adjuster name. See Utility --►Insurance --►Insurance for more information.

 

b - The <Adjuster Name> field must be completed on the patient's insurance screen. See either Registration --►Regular --►Insurance or Registration --►Worker --►Insurance.

 

c - The patient's category <Type> must be either W or F. See Utility --►Category.

 

The 'Adjuster Name' data element has been added to the programming file but has not been added to the form. Therefore, offices wanting to have the Adjuster Name printed on the paper WC Claims, should call PCS Support and request it be added.
