Lousiana Medicare to Arkansa EClaims

MBSENS.EXE

1. DA0 field #4 instead of I or P. They require the use of M to indicate that Medicare and some other carrier is also responsible for payment. This only affects MCARE LA2AR claims.

2. FA0 # 23 is the rendering provider ID. No changes in programming where required since this is a field found on Att Phys Table under carrier type 3.

3. Type of Service Codes must be blank. Medicare LA to AR claims can not use type of service codes. In the past clients have not entered a TOS code in the Procedure code table for the procedure cross-over. The program was modified so that for Medicare Lousiana to AR claims the type of service is always blanked out.

MBSENS.EXE

Corrected problem with electronic claims as reported by DAD

DA0 record was getting cut off at position 149 The problem was with charge with ~AT and ~ZD on the same notes field charge entry record. This is OK to do so the code was modified to handle this properly.

MBS02N.EXE

System Integrator : Corrected the problem of running totals not updating as charges were been entered. This was consequence of adding the 2 new fields to demographics to support MSP Medicare as Secondary payor. The Integrator had not been re-linked to support the field changes made to support the new added fields.

MBS50.EXE

MBS Password screen : modifed to read in the ISPPGM enviromental variable and direct the MBS51.LIB path to find the library at that location. This eliminates the PIER to PIER problem of having to have a library copy for each user on the network in the user directory. NOTE: clean out the existing copies off the user directories.

2. DA1 Seq=02 I could not find a layout error in this record but it could have been caused by the previous record not reflecting the MG in the appropiate field.

3. EA1 record was always been reported for the state of PA. This was changed according to specs to reflect EA1 only if Place of Service was other than Dr's Office.

All MBS users insterested in this new feature.

This patch provides a new feature to MBS users. Posted charge transactions Diagnosis Code field can now be updated. Previously a posted transaction could not be updated. The only way to change any information on the charge transaction was to reverse such entry and re-enter it with the changed information. But now if all you need to change is the diagnosis code in the diagnosis code field in the charge entry facility of a posted transaction YOU CAN! Simply search for the record to be updated, change the diagnosis code as needed, and press F8 to update the record. IT IS THAT SIMPLE! Enjoy!

Electronic claims to PA. After discussing the problem with Teresa at Medicare PA, the problem was: 1. Their system can not support MSP at this time 2. Their system can not support secondary carriers at all except for Medigap carriers. So MBS was modified to not reflect any DA0-02 carrier records except for Medigap.
