Intellect™
REGISTRATION MENU OPTIONS
Worker
Worker
Add Worker
Warning: Only one Add Worker screen may be open on a workstation.
This option allow the addition of a new workers’ compensation patient and the addition of new insurance coverage for the worker. The information entered when a patient account is created is vital since it affects how Intellect handles registration, billing functions, workers’ comp forms, collections, and reports.
This screen is designed primarily for registering Workers’ Compensation patients, but may also be used for other types of injury (Personal Injury, Auto Accident, and Attorney Lien) patients where services are billed on the CMS 1500 form and/or statements to insurances, referring sources, or attorneys. Effective version 9.12.09, it is possible to produce Tracer HCFA forms for workers’ comp patients. For more information, please refer to Billing --► Worker --► HCFA Form --► Batch of Patients or Group of Patients.
This option enables tracking of multiple injury dates, continuous trauma dates, claim numbers, Adjudication (ADJ) numbers, and body parts for a single patient record.
When a retired name or referring code (i.e., the <Code Retired> field = Y on the Utility --►Referring screen for that code) is entered in a field that allows referring codes, Intellect displays:
Video Available: Click Worker Registration to access the link. Depending on the system set up, the media player may need to be activated. Speakers need to be attached to the workstation to hear the instructions.
Note: To view the videos, log-in through the www.primeclinical.com website. Current support is required.
Updates:
Effective version 17.06.09, an [Additional Demographics] button was added to the bottom of the WORKER screen to accommodate adding extra patient demographic information needed to meet Meaningful Use requirements. See [Additional Demographics] for details.
PCM users only. Effective version 16.10.11, when an Intellect client purchases PCM, a new feature called 'Create Chart' automatically creates a chart in PCM for every existing patient in Intellect. No action is required.
1. To add a Workers Compensation Patient in Intellect, go to Registration --► Worker --► Worker --► Add.
Note: A workstation may only have one Add WORKER screen open at a time.
The Add WORKER screen displays:
This screen, like many in Intellect has several optional fields, and the graphics in this documentation may vary slightly clinic to clinic. See the optional fields at the bottom of this document and/or the documentation on adding/removing fields.
Note: When adding a new worker, the <Patient Account No>, <Last Name>, <First Name>, and <Category> fields are mandatory and MUST be filled-in.
2. Patient's Account No
2.1. The focus automatically starts here.
2.1.1 If the system is set to assign numbers automatically (see Utility --►Set Up --►Parameter <Auto Patient No>), Intellect displays the next available account number.
2.1.2 When the account number is not automatic, assign a unique number (up to 10-digits).
2.1.3 Trying to assign a number when the system is set to automatically provide an account number displays an error message:
Select [OK] to return to the <Patient Account No> field.
2.1.4 This field is mandatory and must be completed. The system does not continue without a unique patient number. If left blank, an error message displays:
2.2 If Utility --►Set Up --►Parameter <Check Duplicate Pt> = 'Y,' the system checks for duplicate accounts (which is highly recommended). A search screen appears when [Enter] is pressed in the <Patient Account No> field:
Press [ESC] to bypass this search.
See more on Duplicate Patient.
2.3 NOTE: In some instances, it may be permissible to create multiple accounts for a single patient after searching for duplicates. Discuss these options with a trainer since the decision affects scheduling, billing, and, for PCM users, chart creation.
Some examples of patients with multiple accounts:
• Patient has multiple injury cases and a separate account is created for EACH claim to keep the appointments history and financial data separated.
• Patient is being treated for a workers’ comp injury and visits billed to regular medical insurance, so one account is added for workers’ comp injury under Worker and another account is added for the patient’s medical insurance under Regular.
• Patient has separate accounts for auto accident injury and regular medical insurance.
3. Chart Number
(versions prior to version 13.10.29 are labeled Chart)
3.1 This is an optional field and may be left blank.
3.2 The field accepts up to12 alphanumeric characters.
3.3 The Chart Number may be printed on custom Superbill or Registration forms.
Chart Number examples:
• Account number from a previous system.
• For group practices, the initials of the physician this patient sees.
• For worker's comp patients, their date of injury.
• The language of the patient.
• The name or initials of the lab covered by this patient's insurance
4. Last Name
4.1 Type the patient's last name.
Effective Version 13.01.11
As of October 1, 2012, Medicare contractors reject any claim with ANSI reason codes MA130 and MA61 when the beneficiary name and Health Claim Number do not match the information listed in the Common Working File record for the beneficiary (i.e., as shown on the Medicare card). Because of this, Intellect now accommodates suffixes for beneficiary last names. Examples of suffixes are: I, II, III,1, 11, 111, i, ii, iii, 1v, 1V, IV, iv, JR, JR., Jr, Jr., SR, SR., Sr., or Sr. If suffixes are used that are not listed here, send them to PCS Support to have them added to the program.
If a patient/beneficiary has a suffix, it must be added to the patient <Last Name>; the name should be entered into Intellect exactly as it is shown on the Medicare card.
For example, if a patient has the name of John Jones, Jr., then enter Jones, Jr. in the <Last Name> field. If a comma is entered after the suffix (Jones, Jr.,), the suffix of Jr. is not included. It is OK to have a comma between the last name and the suffix.
If a hyphen is included between the last name and the suffix Jones-Jr), Intellect includes the suffix.
4.2 This field is mandatory and must be completed. If left blank, an error message displays:
Select [OK] to return the focus to the <Last Name> field.
4.3 Note: The combined character length of the names entered in the <Last Name> and <First Name> fields should not exceed 70 characters. If the 70-character length is exceeded, the patient name displays on the appointment schedule, but the right-click menu may not be accessed.
5. First Name
5.1 Type the patient's first name.
5.2 This field is mandatory and must be completed. If left blank, an error message displays:
Select [OK] to return the focus to the <First Name> field.
5.3 Note: The combined character length of the names entered in the <Last Name> and <First Name> fields should not exceed 70 characters. If the 70-character length is exceeded, the patient name displays on the appointment schedule, but the right-click menu may not be accessed.
6. Prefix (previously Title)

6.1 Accept the default ' blank' to not list a prefix for the patient, OR use the drop-down list to make an alternate selection:
7. Middle Initial
7.1 Type the patient's middle initial.
7.2 Optional, but recommended.
7.3 Effective Version 13.12.12, on the HCFA 1500 form, 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.
8. Address
8.1 Enter the patient’s complete home street address (or mailing address) including apartment number.
9. Zip Code

9.2.2 If left blank, press [Enter] through <City> and <State>. IMPORTANT NOTE: NEVER enter <City> and/or <State> when the <Zip Code> field is blank.
9.3 Effective version 9.12.24, a task named 'ZipCode9' runs every night and can update any zip code fields with a 9-digit value using the current 5-digit zip code value and its' address field. As of December 2011 it only updates the patient zip code, but in the future it can be expanded to other fields as well. It does not update the field if the source from which it fetches the data (www.usps.com) does not recognize the combination of zip code and address as a legitimate one.
10. City
10.1 The city name displays from the Zip Code, if it is known to Intellect.
10.2 Otherwise, type the city attached to the Zip Code.
10.3 NEVER enter a city and state while leaving the Zip Code field blank.
10.4 For more information, see Adding Zip Codes.
11. State
11.1 The State name displays from the Zip Code, if it is known to Intellect.
11.2 Otherwise, select the state code from the drop-down list.
11.3 NEVER enter a city and state while leaving the Zip Code field blank.
11.4 For more information, see Adding Zip Codes.
12. Home Phone No
12.1 Type the patient's home phone number -- it is not necessary to enter the parenthesis or hyphen.
Note to CallSTAFF users: If the patient's area code is not the same as the <Default Phone Area> field in Utility --►Set Up --►Parameter, Intellect dials the 1 and area code. If the patient's area code DOES match the <Default Phone Area> field, it does NOT dial 1 and area code.

17. Fax
17.1 If completed, Intellect can fax the information to the patient rather than print it when generating Patient Statements, Follow Up Letters, Recall Letters, or Forms.
17.2 For more information on faxing from Intellect, refer to the section on Faxing.
18. Email Address
18.1 Type the email address of the patient.
18.2 If this field is completed, Intellect can email the patient rather than print for various forms and letters.

19.2 Effective version 9.12.16: Decide which option to have as a default for the <Gender> field; i.e., either 'M' (male), 'F' (female), 'U' (unknown), or to have it default to 'Blank,' as shown above.
Selecting 'Blank' as the default has some items to consider:
1 - Because claims billed without a valid gender may be rejected, PCS suggests setting up the <Gender> field as a required field. Meaning, if it is left blank when either [Add] or [Modify] are selected, an error message displays.
The operator must select a gender before exiting the screen and saving the record.
To set this field as a required field, please contact PCS Support.
2 - To schedule an appointment, a patient must have an account. For new patients, the scheduler needs to add the patient account record, which means they need to select a gender before they can save the new patient account record.
20.1 Enter the patient's social security number in ######### format. Intellect inserts the dashes in the correct locations (###-##-####).
20.1.1 Effective version 16.11.10, the SSN only displays the very last 4 digits and the rest are represented with asterisks (***-**-1234), unless the data in the database is malformed or incomplete.
