HD0000000063080 MON-1299-50901 encounter not showing up on claims tracking Problem: -------- The many problems identified in this NOIS and it's duplicates are a result of the Claims Tracker's inability to accept new Outpatient Encounter entries with the same date/time. There are a variety of situations where different services/procedures will end up with the same episode dates. Resolution: ----------- The Claims Tracker software was modified to accept a new entry with the same date/time as a previous entry. New entries will only be prevented if the associated Outpatient Encounter is already associated with another existing claims tracking entry. This change is effective with claims occurring on or after January 1, 2006. TECHNICAL: ========== Routines IBTRKR4, IBTRKR41 and IBTUTL1 have been modified to allow the addition of a same date/time Outpatient Encounter entry to the CLAIMS TRACKING (#356) file. The following options will now allow such entries into Claims Tracking (for claims occurring on or after January 1, 2006): Queue Means Test Compilation of Charges [IB MT NIGHT COMP] and Manually Add Opt. Encounters to Claims Tracking [IBT SUP MANUALLY QUE ENCTRS] options as well as the Add Tracking Entry [IBTRE ADD TRACKING] protocol from within the Claims Tracking Edit [IBT EDIT TRACKING ENTRY], the Claims Tracking Edit [IBT EDIT IR TRACKING ENTRY], and the Claims Tracking Edit [IBT EDIT HR TRACKING ENTRY] options. Claims with the same date/time occurring in 2005 or earlier will continue to be processed by these options as they are now.
