Insurance Info Tab

If needed, selecting the Insurance Info tab on either the Add, Inquire, or Modify Appointment screens displays the patients’ insurance(s) and the details of the insurance(s). Sample screen:

Effective version 17.02.17, the Details section was increased to include additional insurance information.

Eligibility History Tab

Click the [Eligibility] button on the Add Appointment or Inquire Appointment screens to submit a Request 270 file via sftp to the vendor and, in real time, receives a reply via Verification 271 file. The information is inserted into a table and may be viewed by selecting the Eligibility History tab on either the Add, Inquire, or Modify Appointment screens. Detailed Eligibility history information for the highlighted/selected record is displayed.

Note: Eligibility responses vary from payer to payer. Some payer responses are very robust and include quite a bit of benefits information in addition to the eligibility response. Others are more limited in the information that they provide. If the information is not required in a 271 response, there is no way to make the payer send it. For example, Trizetto always returns all of the information to the office that they receive from each payer. Please remember that this is just an Eligibility verification. This tells the provider if the patient is eligible for services on the date submitted.

Updates:

Effective version 21.04.14

New Ability All Ease Payer integration for Eligibility Verification is now available.

Prime Clinical Systems developed another API solution for the Eligibility Verification for the Ability the All Ease Payer Solution to function the same as the current method of OnStaff/Intellect Eligibility Verification. Contact PCS for details.

Effective version 13.10.29

As of version 13.10.29, clients who are sending directly to Medicare can now do real time eligibility direct with Medicare. When doing direct Medicare eligibility, modify the Utility --►Insurance --►Insurance <Name>, <Eligibility Receiver>, and <Eligibility> fields as indicated in the online documentation.

For further information on how to use eligibility verification, register for our eligibility webinar/workshop. Contact PCS support for more information.

Effective version 13.10.29 New Utility --►Insurance and Utility --►Insurance --►Tele Com screens are now required for Eligibility verification via Ability. To utilize this portion of the Intellect feature, please let a Support Representative know to complete your set up.

Explanations for the Eligibility History tab:

History area

Details area

History Area

The History section displays the date of service (DOS), Insurance carrier name, Subscriber number, the From/To dates of coverage, the amount of the co-pay (if any), and the amount of the deductible, if applicable.

Effective Version 13.03.01 - HMO information displayed. In prior software versions, when clients submitted Eligibility through TriZetto (formerly Gateway), Intellect did not populate all the return information on the HMO patients. Now, if a patient has an HMO account but another insurance company is the actual payer, both insurance companies are displayed.

• For example, if a patient has the HMO Aids Healthcare Foundation and the actual payer processing claims through the HMO is Aetna, Aetna displays on the Insurance Info tab

and Aids Healthcare Foundation (the HMO) displays on the Eligibility History tab

Effective Version 9.12.13 - Response Code Added. Prior to this update, Response Code AAA67, used by the insurance when the patient was not found in their eligibility records, was not programmed in Intellect. Therefore, nothing would show in Intellect's Eligibility History. Effective this update, the 271 Response Code AAA67 was added to the eligibility verification programming, allowing the code to be inserted into the patient's Intellect eligibility record and the description to be displayed in the patient eligibility history.

Effective Version 9.12.09 Verification per Calendar Date. Many insurances verify eligibility for dates of service within 24 hours of the request. Some verify within 1 week, or 2 weeks, and some do not apply restrictions. Prior to version 9.12.09, Intellect submitted the scheduled appointment date in the eligibility request file (270), which meant eligibility could only be requested for current appointments. Effective in version 9.12.09, the program sends the calendar date instead of the scheduled appointment date. It is important to know that the eligibility response is verifying the patient eligibility for the current calendar date and does not assure that the patient is eligible for future appointments. This change not only applies to Real Time Eligibility (from the appointment schedule) but also to Batch requests for eligibility either sent via automation or manually sent through Billing --►TeleCom --►Eligibility.  

Details Area

The Details section is divided into the three areas of Message, Remark, and Amt/% (Version 9.12.09 - The heading for the Amount column was changed to Amt/%). All of the information in these sections comes solely from the insurance company and may vary per insurance carrier.

Note: To not see descriptions for certain eligibility remark codes, as sent by the vendor, this information may be suppressed. See the <Status> field information in Utility --►Messages --►Eligibility Remarks.

For readability, the size of these fields may be changed. Hover the mouse over the bar between the Message and Remark section headings to display a double-ended arrow, click and hold the left arrow down, and drag the mouse to increase/decrease the size of the fields. See below.

The Amt/% column information is displayed as follows:

1. If the patient has a flat deductible, the Amt/% column displays the flat amount. For example, a flat deductible of $250 displays as 250, as can be seen on the first line of the screen below.

2. Version 9.12.09 Modification If the line provided by the insurance has an amount which is a percentage, it displays with the % symbol. For example, if a particular insurance has a 30% coinsurance, the Amt/% column displays 30%, as shown on the last line of the screen above.

3. Version 9.12.09 Modification In some cases, a flat deductible is paid up to a certain point and then a percentage coinsurance covers the balance. In such a case, both are displayed in the Amt/% column, separated by a forward slash, as indicated with the entries of 500/30% below.

Additionally, hovering a mouse over the descriptions in the Message column causes a pop up box to display the entire description provided by the insurance company. In the example below, the mouse (which is no longer displayed) hovered in the Message column over an entry for Professional (Physician) visit - O... which then displayed the light grey pop-up field that states: Professional (Physician) Visit - Office Co-Payment.

Note: Prior to version 9.12.13, Response Code AAA67, used by the insurance when the patient was not found in their eligibility records, was not programmed in Intellect. Therefore, nothing would show in Intellect's Eligibility History. Effective version 9.12.13, the 271 Response Code AAA67 was added to the eligibility verification programming, allowing the code to be inserted into the patient's Intellect eligibility record and the description to be displayed in the patient eligibility history.

4. Effective version 13.08.20, Intellect’s program has been expanded to include the NM1 I3 when the Eligibility History tab is populated. In prior software versions, when using IPA/HMO eligibility, Intellect only provided limited TriZetto (formerly Gateway) information.

Notes Tab

Version 9.12.06 - New feature. Click the [Notes] tab to provide a place to keep unlimited notes on a patient. The Notes are informational only, which means they can be accessed only through the Notes tab and, at this time, cannot be printed.

Information entered in the Notes tab are operator and date/time stamped, as shown above. Scroll through the notes to read previous entries, which may be read-only and not modified.

The notes are linked to the patient record, meaning if patients are shared between two clinics, notes entered in either clinic may be read. If patients are NOT shared, clinics are only able to read the notes added in their clinic.

Surgery Tab

Effective version 17.06.09

To prevent a charge for a patient with a blank name or category to be entered, a message displays in the Charges --►Charge screen and Schedule --►Appointment --►Full Day --►Surgery Tab screen:

Effective version 9.12.18 - New feature; described in the 9.12.22 release note.
The [Surgery] tab on the Modify Appointment dialog box was added for surgery scheduling. This option allows clients to:

• track information as it is received and enter the date it was received

• enter messages and notes

• enter DX and Cpt Codes and descriptions along with MODIFIERS

• print various forms like Pre and Post procedure directions

Note: If an authorization number is entered, an Encounter is created so when a charge is POSTED it attaches the authorization number.

Once surgery is done, any necessary modifications may be made to the DX, or process and POST the charge.

The [Surgery] tab is only accessible after an appointment is made and the appointment is modified. Click on the [Surgery] tab to display this screen:

This section of the Surgery tab allows the selection of ICD-10 codes and descriptions for the surgery. After the surgery is completed, the surgeon can click on that surgery and submit the codes for billing. Most of the time, the surgeon uses the same ICD-9/ICD-10 codes that were entered by the surgery scheduler.
