How To Setup CCI Validation with CMS Pricer
This is done from Setup -> Practice -> Practice Options. Contact our team to enable the real-time CCI edits scrubbing feature for the claims.
CCI Validation from Charge Master and Charge Entry
The workflow to run the claims validation rule from both the Charge Entry and Charge Master screens will remain the same. If claim validation with CMS Pricer is enabled for the practice, the system will validate claims using both the internal rules and CMS Pricer. CE and CM screens will show the errors from CMS Pricer, followed by internal validation errors. The same applies to the XSuperbill screen.
CCI Error Bucket in Claim Workbench
Claims Workbench has a new bucket to include all the encounters that have validation errors at the time of claim generation.
This bucket is only available to accounts that have CMS Pricer enabled.
Workflow
While generating the claims from the Ready to Submit Bucket, when the user checks the ‘Run Claim Validation’ check box, a Claim Rule validation popup appears with errors, warnings, and messages of the encounters submitted; see Image 2.
If the user clicks ‘Proceed The claim generation’ without making any changes (i.e., Move Charges with error to CCI-Error is checked), all the encounters with errors will be moved to the CCI error bucket, and all other encounters will be generated as claims.
For all encounters moved to the CCI error bucket, the system will update the line status as ‘HOLD’ and the line sub status as ‘CCI Error’.
If the user clicks the ‘Proceed The claim generation’ button after unchecking the check box ‘Move charges with error to CCI-Error’, then all the encounters will be generated as claims without moving to CCI Error Bucket.
CCI Validation In XSuperbill
Users can select the claims and hit the “Run claim validation” option, and any claims that have errors are moved to the CCI_ERROR list. Note that to quickly locate the errored claims, the error count is displayed in red. Please see Image 3.
A. On the validation popup screen, click on the “Move Error Charges to CCI-Error Bucket” to move all charges with errors to the CCI_ERROR list in the Claims Workbench (Submit Claims); see Image 4.
B. Click on the CCI_ERROR bucket to list the validated claims with errors. The icon besides the provider name in the charge listing will show the errors on mouseover (refer to Image 5).
