Intellect™
BILLING MENU OPTIONS
Insurance
Group of Patients
This menu option is used to print groups of Insurance billing for patients' accounts. Very often a client's billing is set for automation; hence, this screen would be most useful for printing specific groups of claims. The option to create a Pre-Billing Report is included (see <Form Type> for details).
Note: When a patient changes insurance, the old insurance information should be left in the patient's demographic screens until all charges/payments have been completed for the old carrier. If the old insurance is removed prior to completion of charges/payments, Intellect does not generate the information for the old insurance on the statements.
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 patient's insurance screen's <Coverage From> and <Coverage To> date range.
See details for opening and populating the Print GOP Insurance screen.
Updates:
Effective version 21.11.09: In previous releases, the treating provider was added to Box 77 of the UB04 form. However, this box was only to be used when there was a surgical procedure being done and the assistant surgeon needed to be listed on the claim.
The new changes now omit the information from Box 77 when the Utility --►Procedure <POS> is Surgical and the conditions are met in Report Designer. If at the time the user adds a referring provider to the charges, the referring providers name and information are printed in this box.
Effective version 21.01.27, when printing claims on HCFA 1500 forms that include an NDC number, the NDC now has 3 spaces between the NDC number and the QTY:
Effective version 18.08.31: In software versions prior to 18.08.31, when a payment was received electronically and applied using the AutoPost feature, Intellect updated the charge history with the ICN # that came with the ERA file (this number is held in the background of the charges and is never visible to the user). This ICN# printed in Box 22 of the HCFA 1500 and was sent electronically. Due to recent requirements by payers to send corrected claims etc., and because the user does not have access to the ERA ICN#, a change was made in version 18.08.31 to print the ICN# (from the ERA) when the Charges --►Encounter screen has the <Claim Frequency Code> field set greater than 1, and the <Internal Control> field is blank.
Effective Version 13.12.12: On the HCFA 1500 form (02-12), the name appears separated by commas; i.e., last name, first name, and middle initial. A hyphen may be used for hyphenated names. Periods are not used within the name.
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, to have the Adjuster Name printed on the paper WC Claims, call PCS Support and request it be added.
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. To facilitate this change, a <Bill Zero Balance> field was added to the Utility --►Insurance screen (this field is for paper billing only). Please refer to Utility --►Insurance --►Insurance <Bill Zero Balance> for set up information.
Prior to version 9.12.14, if when the 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.

Also, please note the changes in these updates:
10.1.5.2 Effective version 9.12.10
Changes were made to the report column headings of the Pre-Billing report. The headings that changed are:
• Name/DR was changed to Pt Name/Ref Dr
• ACC/UPIN was changed to Acct/Ref NPI
• SS/FROM was changed to Sub#From DOS
• Group/To was changed to Group/To DOS
All versions prior to 9.12.10: If the Subscriber Number is not completed, the column is left blank.
Effective Version 9.12.10: The report displays ***** to bring attention to missing information.
10.1.5.3 Effective version 9.12.13
Some of the columns on the Pre-Billing Report include two types of data and the headings for these columns were placed in two rows. Additionally, the wording changed in some of the headings on the Pre-Billing Report. The headings with wording changes are:

To view the list of only the codes, click on the arrow. To select, click on the correct code, OR use the ↑ (up) and ↓ (down) arrows to highlight the correct code and then press the [Enter] key to select.
Sample code lists are shown below for these versions:
Note: In the 9.12.10 version, some unused codes were removed from this list.
NOTE: In order to accommodate Medi-Cal billing restrictions for Dialysis claims on UB-04, which limit charge lines to 15 instead of the usual 22, Form Type UB04 Dialysis (formerly 'A') may be selected. The Utility --► Insurance screen does not require any change.
In the 13.06.24 update, the Second Bill Review option was added. The Second Bill Review option works in conjunction with Payment --►Open Item in requesting that a DWC Second Bill Review (SBR) form be printed for submitting a Worker's Compensation payment appeal. In Payment --►Open Item, see set up information for the Message and Comment columns.
Version 13.12.12: A RURAL UB04 report was added for clients using Managed Care. This report is similar to UB04 SUMMARY, and works with the Utility --►Insurance --►Insurance <Form Type> options C and 8, the same as the UB04 Summary report. As a result, clients that used to print the UB04 Summary do not need to change their insurance screen settings for the new RURAL UB04 report.
The RURAL UB04 report option differs from the UB04 Summary as follows:
Box 18 always prints '80'
Box 42 is blank
Box 43 prints 'Managed care diff rate'
Box 44 prints '18'
Box 50, when billing S or T insurances, only prints the address to insurance information
Box 58 through Box 62 are Blank
Version 16.02.22: A Dispute Resolution Request form was added for use by the office to dispute payments or underpayments. When generating the form, Intellect pulls the insurance attached to the patient record, the provider name and address, the provider tax id number, the patient name and date of birth, and the patient subscriber ID.
The amounts that print on the form are based on the provider for whom the form is printed/generated, the From and To dates of service, and the total billed. If the form needs to be generated for more than one provider, each provider must be requested separately in the <Provider> field.
Before a dispute resolution form may be requested:
• Each provider for whom a dispute resolution form is generated must have their own PDR code set up in <Message Code> on the Utility --►Messages --►Message screen.
• The appropriate PDR code must be added in the Message column on either the Payment --►Open Item screen or the Ledger --►Open Item screen for the charge/payment in dispute.

NOTE: To stop all claims from printing for an account, go to the patient's demographic screen and select the desired option from the <Patient Stmt Override> field drop-down options. <Patient Stmt Override> is an optional field and may not be displayed on the screen.
