11.04 |

Be sure to enter the address information also so that it will print on the patient statements. |
11.04 |

Any other value entered into this parameter will potentially cause the report to ignore the minimum amount and create a bill for all patients. For example, to enter a minimum balance amount of $2.00 enter 02 in the report parameter field. For a minimum balance of $25.00, enter 25. |
11.04 |
35007 |

11.04 |
35425 |
| The PAY ALL command was modified to accommodate step-down billing. This screen will now display a balance record for each payor that has ever had a balance for that procedure. For example, the original procedure was posted for Medicaid (Payor R), then transferred to Self-Pay (Payor 6), when the PAY ALL command is issued, you will see a payment record for both Payor R and Payor 6. The balance on the Payor R will display as 0 since the amount due was transferred from this payor. The PAY command was modified to correctly include all credit balance items was well as the debit balance items. |
11.03 |

The description will come from the REIMB table except for payor 'Z' which will come from the ZPAYOR table and for any payor that uses the INSURANC table. Those payor codes will display the INSURANC table description. |
11.03 |
34229 |
| The F4P report was also modified to add several parameters. The first sets the default printer that will print all of the report segments. If this parameter is left blank, the report will print at the COSITE's default printer. This cosite specific printer is determined from the COSITE table, COSITE PRINTER field. The next 6 parameters allow the user to specify up to six cosites to include in the report. If you leave all six cosite parameters blank, the report will run for ALL cosites. |
11.03 |

| CH Screen.Previously the preloaded default End Effective Date on the CH screen was 01/01/99. This data item will now default to a date two years from the current system date at time of entry. Caution: Because the system has been pre-loading End Effective Dates of 01/01/99 for many years, you may have charges which will expire on that date. In advance of 1999 you may wish to review your data. A special file fix program has been written to automate the resetting of the CH End Effective Date.
To run this job, enter: CALL FIXCHH01 PARM('old-end-eff-dt' 'new-end-eff-dt') For example: CALL FIXCHH01 PARM('01/01/99' '12/31/2002')All standard date formats are acceptable. |
