SETTING CRON PARAMETERS

 

 

You will find in this section, by menu level (i.e., /Payment/Auto Payment noted below) the available automation(s) for that function.  Each menu's automation(s) are listed in the box under Description.  Under Command Name is the /Utility/Set Up/ Menus/Programs <Command Name> field entry needed to set up the parameter field for that function.  Following the box is a <Parameter (XX|XX)> field entry example and it's explanation per requirement.  Each requirement in this field is separated by a colon (:).  

 

REMEMBER:     This section of the training documentation is addressing  ONLY the /Set Up/Menus/Programs <Parameter (XX|XX)> field setup.  You must also determine if each automated function will be a daily, monthly or yearly function by making appropriate entries in those fields as well as the parameter field.

NOTE 1:   This entry is dependent on the time of day automation begins.

                 

                  NHIC Medicare:

                  NHIC Medicare will have a response 24 hours after requesting verification.  Thus, for NHIC this is a two step process.  When automation begins prior to midnight, the request entry would be TODAY + 2 (today’s calendar date plus two days, i.e., request for patient’s scheduled two days from now, with their eligibility being picked up tomorrow).  When automation begins after midnight, the entry would be TODAY + 1 (today’s calendar date plus one day, i.e. request for patient’s scheduled tomorrow, with their eligibility being picked up tomorrow).  In either case, the pickup entry would always be set to TODAY (today’s calendar date, i.e., pickup for patient’s requested yesterday).

 

NOTE:   Please be advised that this option is only for those patients that have appointments and have Medicare or Medi-Medi as their primary insurance coverage.

 

 

Billing/Tele Com:  Acknowledgment

Designed for Occidental and NHIC Medicare, this function will automatically obtain the Medicare Acknowledgment Report, which Medicare also mails to you.  This report also contains how many and what errors they detected.  By picking up this report, you will have a few days head start in correcting and rebilling those charges.

Billing/Follow Up:  Itemized         

This automated function is designed to a print itemized follow up letters addressed to the patient or insurance carrier for unpaid charges.  It is suggested to have follow up letters print daily based on the calendar date versus printing on a weekly or monthly basis.  In this way follow up letters will be manageable in volume. It is possible to automate five itemized insurance follow ups.  For example, one for unpaid claims over 30 days, another for unpaid claims over 60 days, etc.  It is possible to set up automated patient follow up letters based on the patient’s portion due by entering G in Field 12.

Billing/Follow Up:  Non-Itemized          

It is recommended to set up patient non-itemized follow up for only the CASH category as the non-itemized follow up letters are looking at the total account balance, NOT only the patient portion of the total account balance.  It is possible to automate five non-itemized follow ups.  For example, one for unpaid patient balances over 60 days old, another for over 90 days old.
