Rebilling Claims Submitted By Date
In Batch Insurance Billing a batch of claims can be quickly generated for Unsubmitted claims (the mode you would normally use), for claims by date of entry (DOE), or for claims by date of service (DOS). However, you can also easily rebill a batch of claims that have been marked as being submitted on a specific date.
There are a number of reasons this might be useful. I first encountered the need for this after a batch was generated using the Unsubmitted option and the claim file was NOT saved. If the Save Reprint option had been used the Reprint could have been used. However, we don’t even need this option. Using the SQL filter we can retrieve all claims marked as submitted for a given date. Simply enter “;PostFile.Sub_date1={3/22/2010}” (excluding the double quotes, but using the semi-colon) in the SQL field for March 22, 2010.
You might wonder how you would possibly know to do this. The answer is you simply wouldn’t know. You’d have to ask us for a little help. We’re hoping to replace the SQL Filter with a complete dialog in MedLook 4.0.
There are a lot of little commands possible but not readily apparent within MedLook. If you are not sure if MedLook supports a certain command, please ask. Be sure to look under the Tools menu and browse through all of the dialogs. There are a number of very handy utilities in the menu system.
