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.
