MBS 8.1 Update Disk released for Eclaims.
We have udpated our E-claims and 8.1 upgrade to install easily in Windows 95. This install program will make all the needed changes and simply the setup of rEDI-Blue.
Medicare as a secondary for E-Claims
MBS NSF electronic claims format now supports Medicare as Secondary payer. Two new fields were added to the demographics to indicate per payer code the insurance type code. Use F9 in the primary Insurance Type code field for valid values. These codes are also used to indicate Medicare Secondary reason codes. Previously MBS did not allow any claims to secondary payers to be filed electronically. This can now be overwritten by explicitly indicating an electronic claim format in the secondary form# field within the payer code table.
Internal/Recall/Statement Notes Fix
Internal/Recall/Statement Notes are now able to posted to a specific invoice. Corrected code so that the last charge selected or whatever invoice number displayed in the invoice number field prior to a Shift F2 Notes invoking, it is used to create the note to that invoice. Affected files are MBS02.EXE Patient Demographics, MBS05.EXE Charge Entry MBS06.EXE, Payment Entry MBS23.EXE, Account Inquiry, and MBS72.EXE Collections FOllow Up.
Downloading MBS 8.1d will correct this.

Texas E-Claims
Corrected the sequence field in DA1 record. Right now this is only a warning message. So claims are not been rejected. In addition, the DA0 unexpected end of batch error (a.k.a. "Incomplete Session"). This patch also eliminates the need for additional copies of the file "mbs51.lib" to be copied into the users directory in a peer to peer network and Windows95 clients attached to a Novell. You can only use this patch if you password screen reads MBS 8.1b.
Downloading MBS 8.1d will correct this.

E-Claims in Texas Unexpected End of Session
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.
Downloading MBS 8.1d will correct this.

Totals in Integrator incorrect
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.
Downloading MBS 8.1d will correct this.
