ITEMS PAGE - NEW TIME FIELD
| • | A Time field has been added so that the times for individual items may be entered. These are not printed on accounts, but are sent in Eclipse claims. |
| • | Specific item times are not required for Eclipse claims, but may avoid problems with separate consultations, or duplicate services on the same day. |
| • | The times are not entered automatically, but must be adjusted for individual items manually. |
| • | Double click on the 'Time' heading to update all times on the currently selected date. |
REBATES
| • | Medicare and fund rebates can optionally be shown on the account (Medicare/fund/gap). Tick the checkbox on the Format page; a default can be set in the Options form, 'Accounts Show' page. The default is ignored for no/known gaps or TP/WC accounts, which do not show rebates unless ticked on the Format page. |
| • | When displaying the MBS rebates on the Items page, the difference between the rebate and the MBS fee is also shown. |
ASA RVG EMERGENCY MODIFIER CALCULATION
| • | Adjusted the ASA RVG emergency after hours calculation to ignore consultations and other excluded items (BL620, BL660, BL680, BM015, BM025, BM045, BM065, CA002, CA004, CA006, CA008, CA045, CA051, CA070, CA080). |
CONDITIONAL FORMATTING IN ITEMS LIST
For users of Access 2000+, conditional formatting has been added as follows.
| • | Items outside the range of 17601-30000 are shown in green (MBS tab only). |
| • | Items with no item number (notes) have yellow highlighting. |
| • | User-defined items are shown in red. User-defined items are set up by ticking the Highlight box in the MBS or RVG books. |
| • | Procedure dates which are different to the Operation date are shown in blue. |
| • | Procedure times which are different to the Operation start time are shown in blue. |
MISCELLANEOUS
| • | Hovering the mouse over the units column shows the total units. Double click to open the units x rate calculator. |
| • | Adjusted item ordering so that consult items such as 97, 697 appear at top of the list. |
| • | Adjusted the data check to give a warning if a referred consultation item exists (17640-55, 104-147) without a referral date existing. |
| • | Added the MBS Book to the Tools menu on the Main Menu, Account details, List of Accounts and List of Payments screens. |
| • | Removed the prompt to 'reinsert MyOwn fee' when the operation times are modified. MyOwn fee will be adjusted appropriately only if it was calculated as $/unit. |
| • | If the operation times are changed, the time item fee is not updated unless a different item number is needed (i.e. more than 5 min diff in first 2h, 10 min thereafter). This is to avoid recalculating the MyOwn fee which may have been calculated using a different method to what the automatic time calculation uses. Avoids small changes in the fee happening without warning. In earlier versions, a message was given that the MyOwn fee should be manually updated. |
| • | If an item number is changed on an account or estimate, and this changes the MyOwn fee, a warning is given that the MyOwn fee calculation should be redone. This is to warn about unexpected fee changes. |
| • | Removed 'Are you sure you want to change the fee' prompt for estimates. |
| • | Removed fee editing warning on Items page for estimates. |
| • | Item 17680 treated as 4 units for the purpose of adding MyOwn fee. |
FEE PAGE
| • | New Calc menu on the Account details page - includes MyOwn Fee, Rebates, Units x Rate, Estimates, BMI. |
| • | A new popup Rebate Calculator allows dynamically viewing rebates on the Fee page. Click <Rebates expected>. |
| • | A new Units x Rate Calculator allows calculating a fee based on a total unit number and rate. |
| • | A new BMI calculator allows calculating BMI from height and weight (also converts between lb & kg and inches and cm). |
| • | The MyOwn fee form can be opened directly from the Fee page and has the following additional functions. |
| • | Functions to add a dollar amount above the MBS rebate, schedule fee or fund fee - spread across all items. |
| • | If an extra fee is spread across all items, consult items may be optionally excluded when allocating the extra fee. |
| • | The method used to calculate My Own Fee is shown on the Fee page. Note that this does not mean that the calculation method can be reproduced. In fact, if an item or time is changed, the MyOwn fee should always be recalculated according to your preferences. |
| • | The doctor's default RVG rate is shown just below the unit value field. Click this to insert the default rate if the existing rate is different. Click again to revert to original rate. |
| • | A small Batch header button was added to the Fee page for easy access. |
