        SLEV-1, STYPE-E, PAYOR-1345

        This means that the default rules for supply code BASEA1E are: service level "1 " (ALS Level 1), service type "E" (emergency), and payor "13457".

      1. You DO NOT have to switch. The existing AL Medicaid system will continue to work.
      2. Since EMSClaims is Windows based, it works with non-DOS compatible modems fine.
      3. No notification is required with AL Medicaid to switch.
    • To switch to the Windows based EMSClaims program, edit the TELECOM file (page 2) and set the transmission type to "2". Note that extracting claims will immediately set the date filed in the billing program. To get a list of claims filed, select option 6 in the Telecom/Medicaid menu - Print List of Claims Filed Electronically.

  • EMSClaims - V1.17 - 12/31/2001

      3. You do not need the Bell South X.121 account to transmit using FTP; however, the call will be a long distance call to Birmingham rather that a local call with InfoSolutions.
      4. To switch we have to notify Medicare and get them to assign you a login and password for the FTP system.
      5. A Windows RAS Dial Up Networking entry (under My Computer) must be created with a name of "AL Medicare". The phone number should be set to (205)988-8282. The connection type is "PPP" and the protocol used is "TCP/IP". Call for help in setting this up on your system.
    • To switch to the Windows based EMSClaims program, edit the TELECOM file (page 1) and set the transmission type to "2". Note that extracting claims will immediately set the date filed in the billing program.

  • V14.72 - 01/08/2002
    • Select company bug fixed. General program cleanup associated with new April 1st release.

  • V14.73 - 01/15/2002
    • BACKUP2.BAT modified for Windows XP compatibility.
    • GA Medicaid 09, DMA-82 (4/01), support added.

  • V14.74 - 01/18/2002
    • Some printers being sold today only work for Windows GDI (graphics device interface) applications. Standard DOS compatible printers understand how to print text information such as A-Z, 0-9. The Windows only type printers cannot print standard ASCII text; they only understand printing graphics. Some of the low-end inkjet printers are included in this group, along with many of the multi-function printer/fax/copier products.
    • If your printer does not work when the device name is set to LPT1, LPT2, or LPT3, you can now specify the Windows device name instead. This causes the program to send the printer output to a file which is then sent to a Windows spooler program for printing. The downside to this technique is that it is slower. Also, Windows may not begin printing until everything in the print job has been sent.
    • To support Windows only printers, a spooler program called WINPRINT has been added to the EMS program. To use the new program, specify a Windows printer device name in the PRINTERS setup file instead of the standard ports LPT1, LPT2, or LPT3.
    • If you are unsure of the names of all your printers, just enter anything that does not contain a period (for instance TEST). The program will display a list of valid printers that are installed on your system. The list will also include network printers that have installed drivers.
    • You can also use the printer name DEFAULT to send printer output to the default Windows printer driver.
    • As before, if you leave the printer device selection to a blank, the program will query you for a printer device name before each print job.
    • You can still redirect printer output to a text file by specifying a filename in the device field; however, you must also specify a filetype. For instance, to send printer output to a file called TEST.PRN, set the device to TEST.PRN (not just TEST).

  • V14.75 - 01/22/2002
    • Data export #2 in Monthly menu modified to now include worker's comp and private pay invoices. To select private pay claims, enter the word "PRIVATE" for the insurance code. Entering a <blank> for all questions will extract all invoices.

  • Billing Notes
    • When billing Medicare hospital to hospital transfers (GA specifically), it is important that Medicare understand that no services were available at the originating hospital and that the patient was admitted to the destination hospital. This is the purpose of the WL modifier. Some states do not use that modifier (GA for instance); therefore, the secondary diagnosis narrative field must be used to explain why an ambulance was required.

  • V14.76 - 01/24/2002
    • Increased printer device name widths to 48 characters.

  • V14.77 - 01/28/2002

    • Export data type 2 improved to allow specifing payor using either insurance codes or paycodes.
    • Three new fields were added to invoice to allow a claim to be reviewed by a specified person. The reviewer can enter a review date which indicates when the claim should be reviewed again. The reviewer can also enter a user defined review status code. For instance, a status code "A" might mean "Payment Pending" or status code "B" could mean "Promise to Pay".
    • Option "A" added to the PRINT menu to print "Review Reports". Two new reports were added.
    • Report #1 - Accounts due to be reviewed
      • User specifies the reviewer code (<blank> for ALL)
      • User specifies the review date range (<blank> for ALL)
      • Invoices with zero balance would be skipped.
