ICD-10 Updates

The new ICD-10 codes have been imported to all databases that previously had the original set of ICD-10 codes imported. CMS has been sending notifications that effective 10/1/2016, the specificity grace period will be over. Coders will have to use the exact ICD-10 codes that match the provider’s clinical documentation. The CMS.gov web site has FAQs associated with ICD-10 Specificity: https://www.cms.gov/Medicare/Coding/ICD10/Frequently-Asked-Questions.html.

Note: If you would like to verify that you did indeed receive the new ICD-10 codes, you can go to the Support tab>Procedures/Diagnosis>Diagnosis Setup, and search by description: Zika, Diagnosis type: ICD-10. The result should be A92.5. If you are unable to retrieve a new ICD-10 code, please call your PM Support Team.

Patient Demographics

Patient Receipt
Patient Receipt has been updated to only reflect claims with Patient payments within the selected date-range. Total of Patient payments will appear at the top left of the receipt. The patient receipt is now linked to the Statement Setup that can be accessed via the Support tab >Management menu.

Patient Statements - Statement Setup
A new option has been added in the statement setup to display the next three appointments on the patient’s statement. To access this option from the Support tab, go to: Management>Statement Setup, select the statement setup that you wish to edit, select “Yes” to Show Future Appointments.

Appointment Schedule

Consuming additional appointment slots is now available when creating or editing an appointment. For quite some time, you have been able to assign the number of slots consumed by assigning the number of slots by Appointment Type or Appointment Category Now, you can control the number of slots to consume when creating or editing an existing appointment.

For instance, a New Patient is automatically set to take 2 slots, but the Front Desk knows this patient really needs 3 slots due to a potentially complicated visit. They want to be able to change the slots from 2 to 3 when they are making the appointment. Just enter the number of slots to consume in the Consume Slots field. It will override the slots that are previously set in the Type and Category.
