Updates:

 

Effective version 16.05.20

In prior versions, for the Internal Control Number (ICN) to be included in the Electronic Claims, the ICN had to be entered in the <Internal Control> field. Effective this version, Intellect now pulls the ICN number from the charge. This is handled by Intellect when auto-posting is used to post payments from the payers. This modification is NOT retroactive. Additionally, this ICN now also prints on the printer EOB from Intellect.

 


 

Effective version 14.07.01

When Intellect looks for a Referring Provider (a.k.a. ordering physician), Intellect first looks at the encounter screen for either <Ordering Provider> or <Supervising Provider> and, when either is blank, Intellect looks at the Utility --►Set Up --►Parameter <Referring> setting and pulls the referring provider (a.k.a. ordering physician) based on the setting.

 


 

Effective Version 13.01.11

For clinics that submit electronic claims through WorkComp EDI:

These fields should be completed on the Encounter screen to send documents electronically as a .pdf attachment to the electronic billing file:

 

<Report Type Code>: Select 'OZ.'

 

<Report Transmission Code>: Select 'EL.'

 

<Identification Code>: Enter the unique filename of the .pdf attachment for this encounter as saved by the user under home/staff/EB_ATTACHMENT folder on the server. NOTE: PCM Users may press [F2] to view and select documents from the patient’s chart.

 

Example:

 

 

Please note the following in regard to Electronic Billing Attachments:

All .pdf attachment files must be saved to the shared EB_ATTACHMENT folder on the server under the home/staff directory.

The filename must be formatted as clinic#.acct#.uniquefilename.pdf to identify the clinic and patient account. It is strongly recommended that the date of service is used as the unique filename. For example: 1.2100.11072019.pdf

For Intellect only clinics, the user must save the .pdf attachment file to the EB_ATTACHMENT folder on the server.

For PCM users only, when the PCM chart document is entered using the [F2] search in the <Identification Code> field, Intellect automatically saves the file to home\staff\EB_ATTACHMENT. There is a delay between the user pressing [Add]/[Modify] and Intellect saving the file to the EB_Attachment folder, so claims should not be sent immediately.

When a claims is sent electronically, Intellect performs a search of the EB_ATTACHMENT folder to attach the file entered in the <Identification Code> field on the Charges --►Encounter screen associated with the claim.

If the file is not found or does not exist in the EB_ATTACHMENT folder on the server, Intellect prints 'Attachment Not found or Missing' on the Electronic Billing Report.

 


 

Effective Version 9.12.27
For clients who complete most of the Encounter screen fields with the same values for each patient, version 9.12.27 allows users to set up a 'default' record with the value to be carried over to all new Encounters.

To set up a default screen, go to Charges --►Encounter. Select the type of Encounter screen the office uses (the sample below is for Generic Encounter), then select Modify. At the <Patient Account No> field, enter 0 (zero). At the <Encounter #> field, enter 0 (zero).
