Category:

  - Enhancement (Mandatory)

Description:
============

 This patch will create a new BILLABLE APPOINTMENT TYPE (#352.1) of SERVICE 
 CONNECTED to support the Scheduling patch, SD*5.3*394.  The Scheduling 
 patch will release a new Appointment Type of 'Service Connected' for 
 tracking purposes and for use with the Electronic Wait List.
                                       
 Each Appointment Type is associated with a Billable Appointment Type 
 within Integrated Billing and assigned parameters to determine how the 
 encounters assigned to that Appointment Type should be processed for 
 billing.  Therefore, a new Billable Appointment Type of 'Service 
 Connected' will be released in this patch to correspond with the new 
 Appointment Type of 'Service Connected' released in patch SD*5.3*394.
                                       
 For billing purposes, the new 'Service Connected' Billable Appointment 
 Type will be set up in the same manner as the 'Regular' Appointment Type.  
 The result is that there will be no change to the billing process of these 
 encounters due to these patches.
                                       
 The Service Connected Classification question asked at check-out will be 
 the determining identifier of Service Connected care for both types of 
 Appointments: 'Regular' and 'Service Connected'.
                                       
 This patch will export the new Billable Appointment Type (#352.1) with the 
 following parameters set:
 Field 352.1, .04     IGNORE MEANS TEST         = NO
 Field 352.1, .05     PRINT ON INSURANCE REPORT = YES
 Field 352.1, .06     DISPLAY ON INPUT SCREEN   = YES
                                       
 For both First Party Billing and Third Party Billing, the new 'Service 
 Connected' Appointment Type will be considered potentially billable.  The 
 identification of the care as 'Service Connected' will be determined by 
 the Service Connected Classification question at check-out.
                                       
 Note:  This patch will be released as part of the SD*5.3*394 distribution.
