New Features and Updates

General

• U10663 - Additional Chrome compatibility conversion:  Since Microsoft® has begun the process of phasing out Internet Explorer, we have started converting the remaining areas of our software (that were previously only compatible with IE) to be fully compatible with Chrome.

Billing

Claim Query

• U13505 - New multi-Claim view functionality:  When the User setting to open Claims in their own pop-out window is enabled (Claim Query Open), the system will now allow multiple Claim windows to be opened/viewed at the same time.
• U13521 - New Advanced Search filters:  Since Claims often use the Patient Provider  field found in both the Patient Setup and Claim screens,  Patient PCP, Referring, Doctor, and Location fields have now been added to the Advanced Search screen. In addition, the Claim Patient Location/Patient Provider fields have been moved from the Claim section to the Patient section. Note: By default, these new fields are not enabled in More > Change Display Settings: 
  
• U13553 - Claim Validation messages:  Claim Validation messages that were originally displayed in the Status column of the old Billing Query screen will now display the same message in the Validation Message column on the new Claim Query screen.

Legacy Deposits

• U13681 - Added the ability to view Legacy Deposits with the Deposits screen:  A new conversion process has been created which will allow Legacy Deposits to be viewed from within the Deposits window. The system will begin running nightly jobs to automatically convert any remaining Legacy Deposits. Additionally, any deposits that have not yet been converted by the nightly job can also be converted real-time. This conversion process will work in one of two ways when opening the legacy deposit from the Deposit screen:
  • Once the Legacy Deposit has been opened, if it has not been converted yet and it has 350 or less deposit procedure lines, it will be converted real-time and will then be available for viewing.
  • Once the Legacy Deposit has been opened, if it has not been converted yet and it has more than 350 deposit procedure lines, the user will receive a message that the deposit is being converted and will need to check back later. A job will then run in the background to convert the deposit.
