Version 6.7 - 1 August 2011
NEW VIDEO CONSULTATION ITEMS
Medicare has introduced a number of new items for video consultation (telehealth). The fees for these items depend on which consultation is performed, and is equal to 50% of the fee of the consultation. AA needs to calculate this fee each time it is used.
| • | When inserted, Item 17609 calculates its MBS and MyOwn fee as 50% of the consult fee on the account. The video item must be added after the consult item or the fee will not be calculated correctly. |
| • | Warning given if 1. No consult item exists, 2. More than one consult item exists, 3. Non-consult item(s) exist, 4. Service is in-hospital (video items apply to outpatient consults only). |
| • | DVA, QldWC, SAWC, TAC & VicWC fees are calculated as 50% of the consult fee. HBF fees are calculated as a % of the derived MBS fee. All other fund fees are set to zero since gap cover fees are not paid for outpatient items. (These determined by values in fund fees table.) |
ECLIPSE
| • | Manage logging ERAs in multiuser versions if the account number is not sent in the ERA, as has happened on a few occasions. AA searches all files for the Transaction ID. (Previously, after a brief message during retrieval, the ERA would sit in the ReportsGroupT table indefinitely) |
| • | If a $0 processing report is received for DVA or BB, the status is set to Eclipse - review. (Previously status was not changed from Awaiting payment.) |
| • | Fix bug where fee of x.80 would (randomly) be converted to x.79 when sending via Eclipse. Previously this was known to sometimes happen with x.05 going to x.04. |
| • | On advice from Medibank Private, removed the function that automatically sets IFC to W(ritten) when sending IMC-SC claims, as it is no longer required. |
MISCELLANEOUS
| • | Warning to add epidural base item 18216 if derived fee item (18219) entered first. |
| • | When DVA number exists on Pt page, it is copied to Fund page, and vice versa. |
| • | Check that DVA number doesn't have an accidental carriage return character. |
| • | Added Simple SMTP email functions for clients unable to send email using default email client. This is primarily for use on Healthbase virtual server. Turn on in Options > Misc. Requires HBSimpleEmailData.mdb in UserPath. |
BUGS FIXED
| • | Highlight item checkbox in MBS Book gave error when ticked. |
| • | MBS book opened in narrow window and needed to be resized to view all contents. |
| • | One client got into a loop in the MyOwn Fee form - couldn't get out as the subform requery was in the exit code section and kept erroring. Added On Error Resume Next into ExitHere: section. |
| • | Trial version showed #Error in Web Update Days Left field. |
| • | Removed If DIR(SnapshotFolder) function when opening AA to avoid problems if many snapshots exist. |
| • | Permission denied error in auto backup now occurs silently if temp file can't be deleted. |
| • | Added workaround for error when batch payment cannot find record in data entry form, and therefore can't update status. Avoids error message, and tells user to manually update status. |
| • | Switching from Fund to RVG fee caused 'control too large' error on short screens. |
| • | Fixed miscellaneous bugs from client errors list. |
| • | Total fee summary figure truncated first digit if over $1,000,000.00 in Daily activity report. |
