37.3 In older software versions, if this field is left blank, the Remark column on the Electronic Billing Report (generated by PCS) would say 'Insurance Payor/Office code is blank' and the claim did not bill. This message now prints if the <Payor Identifier> field is blank, even if the <Payor & Office Code> field is completed, and the claims are not billed.

 

37.4 Effective version 13.08.20 - Intellect is ready for Medicare/Noridian Electronic Transactions.

 

37.4.1 The program needs to be on a version greater than 13.07.08 for Medicare/Noridian electronic direct connection.

 

37.4.2 To use Noridian, there are no Intellect requirements if the office is currently sending claims via a clearinghouse; i.e., Cognizant (formerly TriZetto/Gateway), Change Healthcare (formerly Capario), Office Ally, OptumInsight (formerly ENS/Ingenix), or Waystar (formerly Zirmed).

 

37.4.3 Please verify with your clearinghouse if there are changes in the payer office codes. If they require a new code, please enter the appropriate code in this field as shown below:

 

1. Medicare Northern CA Part B – 01112

2. Medicare Southern CA Part B – 01182

3. California Part A – 01111

4. Nevada - Part A – 01311

5. Nevada - Part B – 01312

 

37.4.4 Additionally, the new contractor Number/IDs are effective for Medicare Part A on August 26, 2013 and Medicare Part B on September 16, 2013. As of version 13.08.20, all Providers billing direct to Medicare via a modem are required to send their claims via the Ability Solution. Please follow the instructions sent in our Intellect Noridian Medicare Status email of August 22, 2013.

51.2 The default is 'N' indicating this is NOT an automatic crossover from Medicare.

54.2 When set to 'Y' (yes) and claims are entered with a date range, Intellect completes two or more lines per charge to Box 45 on the CMS 1450 (UB04).

 

 

54.3 Intellect completes the From Date on the first line of the charge, and the To Date on the last line. 

 

54.4 The number of lines Intellect completes per charge depends on whether or not a Charge Remark was entered and if Utility --►Insurance <Comment on Bill> = 'Y.'

 

The claim is completed as follows:

 

• The Revenue Code, Procedure Description, From Date, and Non-Covered print on line 1 of the charge.

59. Bill Zero Balance            

 

59.1 Effective version 9.12.14 - New field added.

 

59.2 Prior to version 9.12.14, if at the time primary payment and adjustment are posted the balance was zero and the patient has secondary insurance, the program would bill the secondary insurance unless the Who column was modified to G before billing was run. Effective version 9.12.14, users have the option to select which insurances should be billed for zero balances and which should not when they are the patient’s secondary or tertiary insurance.

 

59.3 Press the [F2] search key to display the valid choices:

 

 

59.4 The default for this field is ‘N’ (No), indicating that when the Who column is S1, S2, S3, etc. AND the balance is zero, do NOT bill the secondary (or tertiary insurance when Who = T1, T2, etc.).

 

59.5 Selecting ‘Y’ (Yes) bills the appropriate insurance, regardless of the balance.

 

NOTE:  When updating to Version 9.12.14, all existing records are set to 'N'  (No). Offices who would prefer to continue billing the Secondary and/or Tertiary insurances when the balance is zero should notify PCM support so the existing records can be set to Y (Yes).

 

NOTE:  The default for this field is 'N' (No), which means when a new insurance record is added the field is set to 'N' (No) unless otherwise specified. To change the default for new records to Y (Yes), modify the Utility --►Insurance DEF record or, if one does not exist in your system, add a new record where the code = DEF.

 

59.6 This field is used in conjunction with Billing --►Insurance.

 

60. Alternate Code               

 

60.1 Effective version 9.12.14 - New field added

 

60.2 When an Insurance Code is being retired, users may fill out this field to indicate which code(s) to use in place of the retired Insurance Code. For example, if an office no longer wants to use multiple different Blue Cross Insurance codes, they can retire any which they do not want to use anymore, and enter the Blue Cross insurance code(s) they wish to use for all Blue Cross insured patients. For this example, each of the Retired Blue Cross insurance records could have insurance codes for Blue Cross of California, Nevada and Arizona (BCCA, BCNV, BCAZ) entered as the alternate codes.

 

60.3 When entering substitute codes in this field, a space may be entered after each comma for readability.

 

60.4 The length of the field is 400 characters.

 

60.5 For additional information on using this field, refer to the <Insurance Company Code> field in Registration --►Patient --►Regular Patient --►Registration Regular Insurance.

61.3.1 Effective version 15.02.17, whatever is selected in the <Payer SOP Code> field on the Utility --►Insurance --►Insurance Add INSUR_CO screen is set internally to the patient’s PA_PAYER_SOP_CODE when adding or modifying the primary insurance of either a regular or worker’s comp patient. Note: There is not a <Payer SOP Code> field on either of Intellect’s patient or worker screens, but the information is used by PCM.

62. Report PQRS            

 

62.1 Effective version 17.02.17 - New field added as <Report PQRS>. Effective version 17.06.09, the field was activated.

 

62.2 This field facilitates automatic reporting of Quality Data Codes (QDCs) for claims-based or registry reporting of MIPS Quality measures. See Charges --►Speciality Charges --►MIPS Quality Measures for additional set up that must be completed  before this field can be utilized.

 

62.3 Use the drop-down list to select the appropriate code OR press [--►] the right arrow key OR press the [F2] key with the cursor in the field to view codes and descriptions:

 

 

62.3.1 The default for this field is 'No'. Leave the default if:

 

62.3.1.1 Your office does NOT post QDCs for MIPS Quality measure reporting.

 

62.3.1.2 Your office DOES report QDCs, but this insurance does not required MIPS Quality measure reporting.

 

62.3.2 Select 'Yes' if your office WILL post QDCs for MIPS Quality measure reporting to this insurance company (i.e., Medicare). See Charges --►Speciality Charges --►MIPS Quality Measures for additional set up requirements.

 

63. Rural Procedure Description          

 

63.1 Effective version 17.10.20, New field. This field is for the Rural UB04 Red Form only.

 

This field affects, and is dependent on, several screens. Set up must be completed before this field can function properly. See details below.

 

63.2 Utility --► Insurance --► Insurance (this screen).

Fill-in the <Rural Procedure Description> field to meet the Medi-Call Rural Health Requirement needs for the description in Box 43. A separate Utility --►Insurance --►Insurance should be set up for each scenario. For example:

 

For MCAL01, enter MEDICAL VISIT when billing Medi-Cal only.

 

For MCAL02, enter CROSSOVER CLAIM when billing a secondary claim and Medicare is the primary insurance.

 

For MCALU, enter MANAGED CARE DIFFERENTIAL RATE when the insurance is a Managed Care insurance (this could be a P2).

 

63.3 Utility --►Procedure --►Procedure

When a description is entered in the Utility --►Insurance --►Insurance <Rural Procedure Description> field:

 

<Revenue Code> prints in Box 42

 

<Code O> is the New code. This code prints in  Box 44 on the first line of the Rural UB04 Red Form.

 

<Code C> is the actual cpt code. This code prints on the second line, right under the first code in Box 44.

 

63.4 Charges --►Charge

When a description is entered in the Utility --►Insurance --►Insurance <Rural Procedure Description> field, and a charge is posted with the appropriate procedure, the information from that procedure prints the code from both the <Code O> and <Code C> fields in Box 44 on the Rural UB04 Red Form.
