Patient Activities – View Screen

Posted on June 6, 2013 by Support

We have been making a lot of changes to the view screen found in patient activities.  Now when you view an OASIS record or a visit, there is a new button on the bottom of the screen called “Changes.”  This button for OASIS will let you change a couple fields on the OASIS that pertain more to billing rather than the assessment questions.  Most notable is the ability to check or uncheck the PPS Billable question that sometimes gets checked when it shouldn’t be.  We plan to add the certification dates in the near future.  On visits it will let users change things like the service code, supervisory visit performed, therapy assessment performed etc.

We tried to incorporate the fields that sometimes need changed without having to clear the electronic approval and then re-approve. Again, we are focusing on things geared more towards billing than the assessment.

We also had to fix a few bugs concerning date fields not appearing or saving.

Patient Activities – Control Board

Posted on June 6, 2013 by Support

There have been several enhancements to the Control Board (formerly call PPS Control Board) found in patient activities.  We changed the name because the control record options found at the top of the screen now also includes non-PPS H485 records and Hospice certification periods.  There is also a button on the visit screen labeled C.I.S. which stands for create initial schedules.  It’s a screen designed to allow the user to fill in a couple of fields and then just check the dates they want to create visits.  This is not geared so much for ongoing changes but is geared for changes early on in the certification period.

We have gotten extremely positive feedback from users concerning this new screen.  As always we appreciate your suggestions on how to make this feature better.

PPS Control Board

Posted on May 14, 2013 by Support

Under patient activities we added a new button called “PPS Control Board.”  This feature gathers information for the selected PPS certification period and organizes it in a format to better track where you stand with therapy visits concerning the 13 and 16 and 30 day re-assessment requirements.  Skilled nursing and home health aide visits are organized in a more convenient format to compare to the 485 plan of treatment (which also shows on the page).  Let us know what improvements may make this tool more useful.

CMS / PPS 2% Sequestration Cut

Posted on May 8, 2013 by Support

As of April 1, 2013, there has been a 2% sequestration cut to Medicare PPS payments.  When you receive the final payment, CMS is including a 2% contractual allowance adjustment reduction to your total remittance. In order to allow for this contractual allowance adjustment in the system we have added a PPS contractual allowance percentage field in Insurance Companies under the PPS tab.  Just enter the 2.00% in this field.  When the RAP file is created and posted to accounts receivable, the contractual allowance will be posted, thus reducing your accounts receivable amount.  This change will be included in tonight’s update, version 5247.

Important Update – Version 5420

Posted on April 21, 2013 by Support

As the result of an integrity check we added in a couple of reports, timesheet “Other” non-visit time accidentally began to appear in the patient activity grid.  We have corrected this from happening in the future in Version 5420.  We also added a feature in Utilities / HHC3000 Cleanup to remove the existing ones from the activity grid.  In this cleanup utility select item 7. Remove non-visit time records from patient activity grid.  We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.
