In order to improve the management of patient's coding information for Nphies integration, we have now added an additional button for Claim Documents patients where you can go to Abstracting window :

This option can be entered after adding the invoice charges to the detail (it will appear as Drafted) and if your user has access to this functionality.

You will be taken to Abstracting screen where you can fill every missing field required for coding and Nphies validation such as :

This will allow you, for instance, to manage Nphies Claims for patients individually :

We have implemented two new features that will improve the usability of Claim Document screen by giving users details about claims Nphies status and filtering the search of items while viewing their data on Items detail option. See these features here :

Now, while viewing the claim document details, you will see the current Nphies status for each attached encounter. This data is directly imported from their Nphies status and will display any of the following status :

This information will also be listed for every charge that belongs to the attached encounters (context menu and Items Detail ) :

With this information, users can keep track of each encounter approval status from this window.

Also, while looking for items that belong to the attached encounters (click context menu of the encounter and select Items Detail), you will see new search filters that will allow you to look for specific charges and view their information more easily.

The added filters are the following :

To apply any of the filters, click on search and you will only see the filtered products below :

May 8th 2023

Now, when attaching documents (search icon, after drafting the Claim Document), if any of these documents has any related or is a follow-encounter to a main encounter, this information will be shown under a new field called Follow-up Reference, allowing users to view if this encounter has any related and unbilled follow-up encounters or if it is a follow-up encounter. See all details here:

First, select all of those encounter invoices to attach and confirm :

If this encounter has any follow up encounters that lie between the given Date Range , you will see them all listed under the main encounter , in Follow Up Reference section :

If you go to Items Detail, you will see how every product included has the main encounter as their Provider Claim Number :

All of these charges will be included on the Consolidated Invoice and assigned to their main encounter.

If you attach any follow up encounter (which is not the main encounter) and their main encounter does not lie between the given Date Range applied in filters, you will see only this follow up encounter and their number in Follow-up reference, letting you know that this document is for a follow up encounter :

If their main encounter was not yet billed, it will be attached too to the Consolidated Invoice :

If it's already billed, you will not need to look for it since these pending charges belong only to the follow up encounter(s).

In order to avoid creating documents without main encounters, first look for the main encounter and attach it to the Claim Document. Then Cirrus can include all of its charges in Claim Document window as well and address them to their main encounter.

June 12, 2023.

Our latest Claim Document upgrade will allow users to send the batch of approval requests to Nphies before completing the document (Document action and Complete). This will allow users to check the Nphies response in Nphies messages log option for each pending patient and to exclude any rejected claims from the batch before completing this document.

This process will run as a background process and attached documents status will change according to the received response (Rejected or Approved). Then you can complete this document and create its consolidated invoice, where every charge has already been approved by their insurance.

See demo :

Send batch to nphies button will appear in context menu, make sure to send this batch once you have attached the documents you wish to include and before completing this document :

You will see the following message :

To check the Nphies delivery message of every pending document, click context menu of this attached document and select Nphies messages log :

You can also check by confirming their status or to view the approval message and status of every charge in Items detail.

If you complete this document, you will not be able to send this batch to Nphies again :
