The multi-row table display appears after pressing [Enter] with the focus in the <To> field. This table lists the charges requested via the <From> and <To> fields. It has a limited number of functions as shown either by pressing the [F2] key anywhere on the multi-row table display to access the Key's Help options or by placing the pointer in a highlighted field and right-clicking to access the context menu.

 

The table displays with the focus in the 'C' (command) column:

 

 

7. (Command Column)                        

 

7.1 Press [F2] with the focus in this field to display the Key's Help pop-up. Key's Help provides a list of the various actions that may be performed by entering the specified key in the 'C' Command Column.

 

8.

 

8.1 The type of transaction is displayed on this line; i.e., P, D, R (Procedure, Diagnosis, Remark).

 

8.2 Procedures that do not have a diagnosis attached at the time of posting appear in a burnt orange color (includes Finance Charges); all other entries are white.

 

8.3 May not be modified.

 

9.

 

9.1 Displays the date of service (DOS) as entered in Charges --►Charge <From/Date> at the time of posting.

 

9.2 It is not recommended to change this date as it is only changing the CMS 1500 (HCFA) Box 24A From Date, resulting in incorrect claim information. Although not recommended, the <From Date> of service may be changed here as well as through the Open Item Ledger.

 

10.

 

10.1 Displays the performing doctor (not the billing provider) in Utility --►Provider --►Provider <Provider Code> as entered in Charges --►Charge <Dr> at the time of posting.

 

10.2 This is the only access to change the provider of service for the selected charge. Changing the provider code changes this information for the selected charge only, thus modify each charge where appropriate.

 

11.

 

11.1 Displays the panel description from Utility --►Procedure --►Procedure <Panel Description> for the posted procedure.

 

11.2 May not be modified.

 

12.

 

12.1 Displays the Encounter number from Charges --►Encounter <Encounter #> as entered in Charges --►Charge <EN#> at the time of posting, if any.

 

12.2 May be modified here only.

 

13.

 

13.1 Displays the place of service code in Utility --►Facility <Facility Code> as entered in Charges --►Charge <Facility>.

 

13.2 May be modified here, as well as through the Accounting Ledger.

 

13.3 May not be left blank.

 

14.

 

14.1 Displays the Utility --►Procedure --►Procedure <Code R, C, E> or <Revenue Code> for this procedure as determined by Utility --►Insurance  --►Insurance <Code (R/C/E/U)> for the patient’s insurer as assigned at the time of posting.

 

14.2 May not be modified.

 

15.

 

15.1 Displays the modifier attached to this procedure in Charges --►Charge <Mod> as assigned at the time of posting, if any.

 

15.2 May be modified here, as well as through the Accounting and Open Item Ledgers.

 

15.3 Version 9.12.35 - Modification: On the Charges --►Charge and Charges --►Modify screens, the punctuation and spaces have been removed from the Modifier Code. Also, if the Modifier Code is not valid, the system gives the option to Edit or continue. Additionally, the system only accepts modifier codes that have 2, 4, 6, or 8 characters.

 

15.4 Version 9.12.16 - Modification. In versions prior to 9.12.16, the program accepts any Modifier entered in the Charges --►Charge or Charges --►Modify screens, and does not validate the modifier code. Effective update 9.12.16, the program cross-checks the Modifier entered in Charges --►Charge and Charges --►Modify against the Utility --►Procedure --►Modifier table. If the Modifier is not set up in the Utility --►Procedure --►Modifier table a warning message displays:

 

 

15.4.1 Click [Edit] to return to the Modifier field

 

15.4.2 Click [Continue] to post the Modifier entered even though it is not set up in Utility --►Procedure --►Modifier

 

15.5 If two Modifiers are entered for the same charge, the combination needs to be entered in Utility --►Procedure --►Modifier table; if not, the warning message displays.  

 

NOTE: It is important to know that if the combination of two modifiers affect the charge; i.e., reduces the charge amount or should bill the Professional fee, etc., the combination must be set up in the Modifier screen. For example, if the patient is a high risk and the provider was the assistant surgeon ther office might bill with the combination of 2280. The Modifier Code 2280 must be set up in the Utility --►Procedure --►Modifier table for the system to calculate the assistant surgeon fee.

 

16.

 

16.1 Displays the RDX line number for related diagnoses as assigned to Charges --►Charge <RDX> at the time of posting.

 

16.2 May be modified here, as well as through the Accounting Ledger.
Note: For CMS 1500 paper claims, this prints in Box 24E. For procedures with multiple Diagnosis pointers the standard format is a space between; i.e., 1 2.
An optional format may be requested in which the space is eliminated: i.e., 12.

 

16.3 Effective version 13.04.10: The number of characters allowed to be entered in the <RDX> field was increased to accommodate 2-digit pointers with comma separators.

 

17.

 

17.1 Displays the assignment designation as associated with a Charges --►Charge <ASI> at the time of posting.

 

17.2 May be modified either here or through the Open Item Ledger.

18.2 <Who> may be modified either here or through Ledger --►Accounting and Ledger --►Open Item.

 

18.2.1 When modifying an entry of a primary insurer to another primary insurer (for example P1 to P2) this message displays:

 

 

Any change changes the insurance on file in the treatment history table and affects billing and reports.

 

18.2.2 When attempting to modify the Who entry to an invalid value, an error message displays:

 

 

This error applies when either the Who value entered does not  have a patient insurance record with the same value, or the DOS is not within the coverage date range.

 

19.

 

19.1 Displays the referring provider code (doctor/other) in Utility --►Referring <Referring Code> as assigned to Charges --► Charge <Ref Prv> at the time of posting.

 

19.2 May be modified either here or through the Accounting Ledger.

23. A: Type 'A' in the Command Column to send the focus to the [Diagnosis] button in the Add area at the bottom of the screen. Press [Enter] to activate a <Diagnosis> entry field (above the multi-row table display) and send the focus there, allowing a diagnosis code to be entered.


 

23.1 Effective version 15.08.06, if the date in the <ICD10 Effective Date> field on the Utility --►Set Up --►Parameter screen is equal to or greater than October 1, 2015, two selection boxes are available for the <Diagnosis> field:

 

23.1.1 When an ICD-9 code is entered in the <Diagnosis> field, Intellect displays a selection list from which to choose an appropriate ICD-10 code. Highlight the appropriate ICD-10 code and click the [Select ICD-10] button to add the diagnosis to the multi-row table display, OR click [Exit] to close the selection screen.  

 

 

23.1.2 When users enter either a keyword or partial ICD-10 diagnosis description in the <Diagnosis> field, Intellect displays an ICD-10 Lookup screen which includes ICD-10 code options for the keyword/description displayed in the <Search Phrase> field. For example, entering hand fracture in the <Diagnosis> field and pressing [Enter] displays:

 

 

23.1.3 If options are displayed in blue, as shown above, users can click on a code to expand it to the next level by double-clicking on the code OR clicking the [Expand] button at the bottom of the pop up window. The next level of codes is then displayed:

 

 

23.1.4 Click [Back] to return to the original list, click [Select] to choose the highlighted code for the charge, OR click [Exit] to close the ICD10 Lookup screen.

 

24. M: Type 'M' in the Command Column when a procedure or remark line is highlighted to make modifications to that line. Only these Procedure's columns may be modified : <Date>,  <Dr>, <EN#>, <POS>, <Mod>, RDX>, <ASI>, <Who>, <Rdr>, and <Charge>.

 

24.1 Version 9.12.08 - New Feature - You may modify diagnosis codes. Type 'M' in the Command Line of a Diagnosis entry; the focus moves to the <Diagnosis> field shown above. Press the [Delete] key to remove the existing diagnosis, type in the new/correct diagnosis, then press the [Enter] key.

 

Note: If an existing Diagnosis Code is modified, the change is retroactive; i.e., modifying an existing Diagnosis Code changes ALL the diagnoses that have previously been used in the charge records. Instead of modifying an existing Diagnosis Code, it is suggested to ADD a new Diagnosis Code as a replacement for the one to be changed.

 

24.2 You may also modify the text of a Remark. Type 'M' in the Command Line of a Remark entry to display and then send the focus to the Remark Text area:

 

 

24.3 At the <Who> column, if the value is changed from P1 to P2, or S1 to S2, etc., the program prompts to change the treatment history to the appropriate insurance. For example, if the patient has two primary insurances and <Who> is changed from P1 to P2, if YES is selected, the program modifies the insurance code stored in the treatment history file from the P1 insurance code to the P2 insurance code.

 

 

25. D: Type 'D' in the Command Column to delete the highlighted line. Intellect displays this message:


 

25.1 Press [Yes] to delete the line and send the focus to the next line in the Command Column.

 

25.2 Press [No] to cancel the delete and send the focus to the same line in the Command Column.

 

When Utility --►Parameter <Delete Entry (T/A)> = 'T,' only today’s entered charges may be deleted (Intellect does not allow deletion of charges entered on a previous entry date). When a payment and/or adjustment has been applied against a charge, first reverse the payment and/or adjustment.

 

 

25.3 Press [Yes] to reverse payment and adjustment. This deletes the charge, and sends the focus to the next line in the Command Column.

 

25.4 Press [No] to cancel the delete and send the focus to the same line in the Command Column.

 

26. Esc: Press [Esc] while in the Command Column to clear the Command Line area. Press [Esc] while in the middle of an action to cancel that action and return the focus to the top line of the Command Column.

 

27. I: Type 'I' in the Command Column to activate a <Diagnosis> entry field and send the focus to that field.

 

 

28. R: Type 'R' in the Command Column next to a procedure that does not already have a remark attached to display an area to add a remark.

 

 

29. N: Type 'N' in the Command Column next to a procedure to display a detailed information panel for that procedure. Effective version 18.10.02 - Field modification: When users edit the Information Panel, Intellect checks the value entered in the <Status> field. The system displays the message shown below if any value other than A, C, P, or O are entered. If a user leaves the <Status> field blank, Intellect restores the <Status> to its' previous valid value.

 

 

30. X: Type 'X' in the Command Column to close this screen and return the user to the main screen.

 

31. S: Type 'S' in the Command Column next to a procedure to change the screen to display any payments and/or adjustments specifically related to that charge, if there is a payment history.

 

 

31.1 Press [Esc] OR type 'Q' to return to the charge line.

 

31.1.1 If there is not a payment history, Intellect displays this message:

 

 

Press the [OK] button to return the focus to the Command Column for that charge.

40. Note1: Some versions differ in the order of the fields.

 

40.1 Effective version 9.12.33, new fields added:

 

40.1.1 <Cost>: Displays the amount shown in the <Cost> field on the Utility --►Procedure screen. For <Cost> calculation information, please refer to the online documentation.

 

40.1.2 <Revenue>: Displays the code selected in the <Revenue Code> field of the Utility --►Procedure screen.

 

40.1.3 <Copay Due>: Displays the same co-pay shown in the <Co-Pay> field on the Charges --►Charge screen. This is set up in the <Co Payment> field on Registration --►Regular --►Patient Insurance --►Add Insurance.

 

40.2 Effective version 9.12.33, field names were changed as follows:

 

40.2.1 <Pay Plan Code> now displays as <Pay Plan>

 

40.2.2 <Insurance Code> now displays as <Primary>

 

40.2.3 <Approved Amount> now displays as <Approved>

 

40.3 Effective version 9.12.33, field removed:

 

40.3.1 The <Assignment> field has been removed since it already exists in the Charge Modify table.

 

41. Note2: Effective version 9.12.26, in the Information panel, press the [F3] key to view the appropriate utility screen for the <Category>, <Referring>, <Billing Provider>, <Insurance Code (Primary)>, <Secondary> and <Tertiary> fields. For example, if the focus is on the <Prim Insurance> field and [F3] is pressed, the patient's primary Utility --►Insurance --►Insurance record  displays in View mode. The program has always contained this feature in the <Dr>, <POS (Facility)>, and <Rdr (Referring)> columns when pressing 'M' to modify a charge line.

 

42. Note3: Fields that have an asterisk are affected when the 'Apply to All' box is checked.

 

43. Note4: Important: To save changes in the detailed information panel, press [Enter] all the way through. When the detailed information panel is no longer visible, then the changes have been saved, otherwise the field(s) reverts back to the data that was previously entered.


Effective version 12.12.06
: A [Save] button was added to the detailed information panel. Press the [Save] button to save changes made in the fields on this panel.

 

44. Note5: To leave the detailed information panel, press [ESC].
Important: Use the [ESC] key to exit from the detailed information panel before displaying the charges for a different account.

 

45. Note6: Effective version 13.03.01: After selecting 'N' (Information) in the Command Column, when users change the <Primary*> insurance, Intellect changes the CPT code for that charge, according to the new insurance.

 

Also, the search table on all three insurance fields (i.e., <Primary*>, <Secondary*>, and <Tertiary*>) has been changed to search the patient insurance table instead of Utility --►Insurance. This means that users may now press [F2] on any of the above insurance fields to search the patient's insurances.

 

46. Note7: Effective version 13.06.24: As of this update, on the Charge --►Modify screen when a user changes the insurance, the CPT Code changes according to the insurance requirement. For all of the following different ways that users can change the insurance, the CPT Code changes too:

 

46.1 Under option N (Information), users can change the insurance code for the selected charge or all charges.

 

46.2 Under option N, if a user modifies the Who from Px to Py (e.g., P1 to P2), Intellect asks the user:

 

"Would you like to change the Insurance which is attached to this charge?"

 

46.2.1 If 'Yes' is selected, the insurance, pay plan, and CPT code for that charge changes.

 

46.2.2 If 'Apply to All' is selected, these changes are applied to all charges on the screen.

 

46.3 When a user presses 'M' on a charge record and modifies the Who from Px to Py, Intellect does the same thing as above.

    

Information Panel Field Definitions

 

47. : Displays the Charges --►Charge <From/Date> service date as entered when posting this procedure's charge(s). It may be modified here.

 

48. : Displays the Charges --►Charge <To> service date as entered when posting this procedure's charge(s). It may be modified here. Intellect uses these dates to complete CMS Form 1500 (HCFA) Box 24 A

 

 

 49. : If there is a Pay Plan associated with the patient's account at the time of posting, Intellect looks to this procedure. Utility --►Procedure --►Procedure <Conversion> value (0,1,2,3,4) then looks at the Pay Plan <Conversion 0,1,2,3,4> fields for the corresponding value which is displayed here. Otherwise, a value of '0' displays.

 

50. : Displays the Utility --►Procedure --►Procedure <Unit Value> or, <Prof Unit Value>, or computed Technical based on any modifier at the time of posting.

 

51. : If a Pay Plan is associated with the patient's account at the time of posting, Intellect first looks to the Utility --►Procedure --►Procedure <Conversion> value (0,1,2,3,4) and then uses the field corresponding to Pay Plan <Percent 0,1,2,3,4> value. This is displayed here, otherwise, if there is no value, a default of 100% displays.

 

52. : Displays this procedure's Utility --►Procedure --►Procedure <Days/Units> value at the time of posting. This field may not be blank.

 

53. : Displays the patient's assigned Utility --►Category <Category Code> as it was at the time of posting.

Note: In versions prior to 9.12.35, if the information is changed in the <Category> field to a non-existent category, the system accepts it.

 

53.1 As of version 9.12.35, when a user changes the <Category>, the system checks to see if the entered category exists. If the category does not exist, the system displays this error message:

 

 

Click [OK] and enter a valid category code in the <Category> field.

 

Also, in version 9.12.25 and greater, while in this field, a user may change the Category by pressing the space bar to clear the field and then pressing [F2] to display a 'Searching ...' screen where an alternate Category may be selected.

 

53.2 Effective version 12.12.06: Intellect checks the validity of the data as it is entered into this field. In prior software versions, users had to press [Enter] after entering data to check that the data was valid.  

 

54. This is hard-coded and is dependent upon the patient's Category at the time of posting; indicating the type of claim.

 

A: Capitated or Auto Pay - The charge is included in the distribution of the Capitated check when applied through the Auto Payment feature. If the charge should not be included in the capitation distribution, change the status to C. Changing it to P does NOT adjust off the charge.  

 

P: Prepaid - Adjusts off at the time the charge is being posted. Modifying the status does NOT reverse the adjustment. It is recommended to NOT change the status if it is set to P.

 

C: Regular - The charge is not adjusted off at the time of posting, nor is it included in the Capitated payment distribution through the Auth Payment feature. If the charge should be included in the capitation distribution, change the status to C. Changing it to P does NOT adjust off the charge.  

 

O: Company Account - These charges print only on the Company Statement, and cannot be printed on a patient statement. If the Status is something other than O, changing it to O does NOT put the charge on the Company Statement. There are other required data elements which are set at the time of posting, therefore, delete the charge and re-enter it for it to print on the Company Statement.

 

54.1 Effective version 12.12.06: Intellect checks the validity of the data as it is entered into this field. In prior software versions, users had to press [Enter] after entering data to check that the data was valid.  

 

55. : Version 9.12.32 - New Field. Displays the amount shown in the <Cost> field on the Utility --►Procedure --►Procedure screen.

 

55.1 Cost is calculated as follows:

 

If Utility --►Procedure --►Procedure  = X and Utility --►Procedure --►Procedure <QTY(Y/N/X) = X or Utility --►Procedure --►Procedure <GLOBAL(Y/N/X)>  = Y,   then <Cost> = (procedure/cost) * dayUnit

 

55.2 dayUnit is calculated as follows:

 

If Utility --►Procedure --►Procedure <GLOBAL(Y/N/X)>  = Y and  Utility --►Procedure --►Procedure <QTY(Y/N/X) = X, dayUnit = <Qty> (from the Charge --►Charge screen) * days

 

If Utility --►Procedure --►Procedure <GLOBAL(Y/N/X)> = X and  Utility --►Procedure --►Procedure <QTY(Y/N/X) = X, dayUnit =  <Qty> (from the Charge --►Charge screen); otherwise, dayUnit  = days

 

56. : Displays the Utility --►Provider <Provider Code> entered in Charges --►Charge <Billing Prv> at the time of posting this procedure to this account.

 

56.1 Effective version 12.12.06: Intellect checks the validity of the data as it is entered into this field. In prior software versions, users had to press [Enter] after entering data to check that the data was valid.  

 

56.2 Effective version 19.09.23, when this field is modified to another provider, if the new provider is a non-billing doctor (i.e., cost center), this pop up displays:

 

 

If the new provider entered in the <Billing Prv> field is retired, this pop up displays:

 

 

Click [Ok] on either pop up to return the focus to the <Billing Pr> field where a valid provider code may be entered.  

 

57. : Displays the Utility --►Procedure --►Procedure <Panel Code> used in posting this charge in the Charges --►Charge <Panel>. When posting charges, the Panel/Procedure Code is used to determine many aspects of the claim. As of version 9.12.12, if the Panel/Procedure Code needs to be modified, delete the existing record and post the correct code.
