Adjusted Charges and Threshold - not used if not first clause. [#90596] |
Summary: For charge adjustments with a threshold equal to the second or greater clause of a contract, the calculation did not use the adjusted charges to qualify or apply reimbursement, but rather reverted the charges to the original charges.

GA 2024.1 (2/19/2024)
This release includes the following new features, enhancements, and issue fixes.
New features
This release includes the following new features:
New Calc Measures
-
A new Calc Measure, Revenue Code MPR, was added, which mirrors the Line Item MPR calculation. Use this Calc Measure to calculate reduction for multiple procedures that are defined by Revenue Codes.
-
Two new Calc Measures, Age at Admit and Age at Discharge, were added as calc bases for the Rates and Thresholds calculation. This Calc Measure eliminates the need to create a custom user-defined field to define a patient’s age in a calculation. The system determines patient age at time of admission or discharge, depending upon the Calc Basis selected.
New File Upload functionality for Payer Codes
File upload functionality was added in Insurance Plan Codes to make adding multiple codes easier.
New File Schedule Reimbursement Type
Added a new 3M Schedule Reimbursement Type: Medicare ASC.
Enhancements

Added Relative Dates to filters
Relative Dates were reinstated for filtering.
Increased file size capability
The maximum file size was increased to 250 MB for importing and exporting version files.
Improved processing of 835/837 files
-
Improvements were made in processing and reading a file into storage to reduce remote data connection issues and increase the processing speed of multiple electronic files.
-
Created a new Admin Page to review imported files and view errors.
NOTE: Additional setup is required with this upgrade. Coordinate with Support for more information.
Improved Full Import Reporting Summary Routines
Updated the reporting summary routines that run after a full import to process only newly imported records.
Issues fixed
This release resolved the following issues:
Issue | Description |
---|---|
Charge Adjustment/Code Adjustments - Deleting an adjustment unchecks Enable checkbox for all effective dates. [#74428] |
Summary: The Enable checkbox was cleared for the simulation when an effective date range was removed from the adjustment on the Charge Adjustment/Code Adjustments pages.

Drill-Down Reports - Calculated Columns not being exported to Excel. [#81645] |

Drill-Down Reports - Decimal Functionality. [#68779] |
Summary: Decimal setting options in Drill-Down Reports were missing the tooltip, and report results erroneously showed totals when they should have been hidden. Resolution: Set the default value for decimal places (0 for cases and 2 for other measures) and added a Settings tooltip on the column heading to adjust decimal places. Also, any generated reports with results exceeding the user interface limit now hide the summary row after changing decimal settings, which is standard for reports with results exceeding 5,000 rows. |
Error: Cannot find column 2 - when attempting to specify a file for rev code adjustments. [#54965] |
Summary: When adjusting CMS outpatient rates by revenue code, an empty column in the Excel file prevented the file from being attached. Resolution: Any empty column that is not specified is now ignored. Excel file attachments read only from the specified columns in the file. |
Locked Contract - Threshold - Lookup Tab allows user to create a Threshold. [#76860] |

Reports - Contractual Analysis Institutional - LOS/Claim Count populated with 0. [#78406] |
Summary: Claim Count and Length of Stay (LOS) values were not populated in the Contractual Analysis Institutional Report. Resolution: Updated the field type from Decimal to Integer, which populated the Claim Count and LOS values in the Contractual Analysis Institutional Report. |
Case Number 00531265 - Primary import batch process failure. [#83463] |
Summary: The import failed when an Add Data file was empty. Resolution: The import now records an error message in the Scheduler that notifies users of the empty Add Data file. The import will continue processing the remaining steps. |
Line Item MPR and RevCode MPR calculation issue. [#83521] |
Summary: When using multi-procedure reduction (MPR) calculation methodologies, Line Item MPR and RevCode MPR, the clause and term were ignored when the SubRate was zero.

Summary: The Import Summary did not include the Add Data flat files that were imported. Resolution: The SQL statement was corrected to ensure that all ETL import files are included in the Import Summary. |
Clause/Term - Attributes - Save doesn't Save attribute when clicked. [#84861] |
Summary: The Save button did not save the changes when adding an Attribute. Resolution: Corrected the functionality of the Save function within Attributes to recognize and save the changes. |

Summary: When filtering Contract Pages from page 2 or greater, the user remained on the page originally filtered from—whether or not the results extended to that page, sometimes resulting in an empty page. Resolution: When filtering Contract Pages, if the filtered results extend to the page the user filtered from, the user remains on the page originally filtered from. If not, the user is returned to page 1 of the filtered results. |
