Intellect™
BILLING MENU OPTIONS
Worker
HCFA Form
Batch of Patients
This menu option is used to print a claim form for a single worker or a small batch of workers. Very often, Workers Compensation Insurance billing, statements, and Proof of Service for patients' accounts are set up for automation.
For billing and rebilling, these conditions must exist:
• A charge/date of service exists within the requested date range.
• The requested insurance(s) is listed as one of the patient's insurance screen(s).
• The date(s) of service must fall within the patients' insurance screens' <CoverageFrom> and <Coverage To> date range.
See details for opening and populating the Print BOP WORKER screen.
Updates:
Effective version 15.09.28, printing the Ordering Provider on HCFA's is no longer dependent on the setting of the Utility --► Procedure --► Procedure <Status> field. In prior software versions, Ordering Provider information from the Charges --► Encounter screen and qualifier 'DK' in HCFA Box 17 were only printed if the <Status> field was set to 'D' or 'O.'
Additionally, for all Billing functions (e.g., HCFA, eBilling, UB, etc.), if the Utililty --►Referring <Last Name> field is empty, Intellect does not use that <Referring Code>. It is equivalent to an invalid Referring Code.
Effective Version 14.07.01
Per this version, there were three modifications:
• Intellect now prints 6 lines instead of 5 lines of service on the HCFA 1500 Form.
• When billing an insurance with the Utility --►Insurance --►Insurance <Insurance Type> field set to either D or 1 (Medi-Cal or Medi-Medi), HCFA Box 30 can now display the Balance Due based on the Utility --►Insurance --►Insurance <Include Payment> field setting. This modification affects NEW HCFA and NEW HCFA RED and Tracers. Offices who would like to use this option, should notify a PCS Support team member.
• Boxes 4, 7, and 9 now print blank (instead of 'SAME') when the insured is the same as the patient.
Effective Version 14.03.20
This update includes a change affecting the HCFA, BOX 9A for claims for Medi-Medi insurance patients. When the patient has MediCal as the secondary, Intellect now pulls the subscriber ID from the secondary MediCal insurance.
Effective Version 9.12.34
The 'B' option added in version 9.12.30 (see entry below) to the drop-down menu of the <Billing Sorting> field on the Utility --►Set Up --►Parameter screen was removed. The function of the 'B' option is now performed by the 'Batch' option on the new <Batch Sorting> field added to the Utility --►Set Up --►Parameter screen. The 'Batch' option sorts the batch in the order the accounts were entered into the Batch Entry screen.
The system uses the <Batch Sorting> field to sort the results when printing a report or form from Batch of Patient screens in Billing --►Insurance, Billing --►Statement, Billing --►Worker --►Statement, Billing --►Worker --►HCFA forms, and Billing --►Worker --►Attorney.
The sort options are:
A new 'B' option was added to the drop-down menu of the <Billing Sorting> field on the Utility --►Set Up --►Parameter screen:
As shown in the Description above, option 'B' is used only for Batch of Patient tasks.
• If option 'B' is selected when running tasks using Batch of Patients, the billing is in the order the account numbers were entered on the Billing --►Worker --►Statement --►Batch of Patients screen.
• If option 'B' is selected when running tasks using Group of Patients, it is as if option 'A' had been selected in the <Billing Sorting> field since the results are ordered by Account Number.
This change affects Billing --► Insurance, Billing --►Worker --►Statement, Billing --► Worker --► HCFA Form, and Billing --►TeleCom --►Submit Claims.
The new option does not affect Billing --►Statement, Billing --►Worker --►Letter, Billing --►Worker Attorney, or Billing --►Company Statement.
Effective Version 9.12.15
Clients can now print the Adjuster Name on the top right corner of the Worker Compensation paper claim. However, there are three requirements which must be met for the name to print:
a - For each insurance being used, the <Print Name on Claim> field must be set to X - Print the Adjuster name. See Utility --►Insurance --►Insurance.
b - The <Adjuster Name> field must be completed on the patient’s insurance screen. See either Registration --►Regular --►Insurance or Registration --►Worker --►Insurance.
c - The patient's category <Type> must be either W or F. See Utility --►Category.
The 'Adjuster Name' data element has been added to the programming file but has not been added to the form. Therefore, offices wanting to have the Adjuster Name printed on the paper WC Claims, should call PCS Support and request it be added.
