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. The only difference is that if claims validation with CMS Pricer is enabled for the practice, CE and CM screens will show the errors from CMS Pricer.

CCI Error Bucket in Claim Workbench

PracticeSuite has a new bucket built into the Claims Workbench 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 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.
