7.2.24 Service Pack Release Notes 09-13-07

• An intermittent NetPracticePM Licensing issue has been corrected. On some systems, in certain situations, users would receive the message 'The maximum number of users has been exceeded.' when not all NetPracticePM licenses were used up.

• Print Insurance Forms (Billing, Insurance Billing Functions) - ***New Functionality*** - If you have the Suppress Legacy Numbers check box selected in the Electronic Claims Integration for an insurance carrier, this program has been updated to no longer print any Legacy numbers on the paper insurance claim forms. A legacy number is a provider number, group number, or in some cases, a license number.
  
• Send Statements to CGM - If multiple electronic statement files were created and sent on the same day, in the same database, the date would not display for those files on the History screen. This problem has been corrected.
  
• Move/Re-Build Transmission File (Billing, Insurance Billing Functions, Electronic Claims) - It was possible that not all NOTE procedures were included in the electronic claims file if there were multiple NOTE procedures attached to a single procedure code. This has been corrected and the program will now submit multiple Note segments when necessary.
  
• Move/Re-Build Transmission File (Billing, Insurance Billing Functions, Electronic Claims) - ***New Functionality*** - This program has been enhanced to automatically create the necessary segments required for EPSDT claims and submit them when a claim contains procedure codes with the EP modifier attached.
  
• Move/Re-Build Transmission File (Billing, Insurance Billing Functions, Electronic Claims) - ***New Functionality*** - This program has been updated to validate all NPI numbers. An NPI number must be 10 digits in length and the 10th digit must calculate out as a correct check-digit. Any transactions that have NPI numbers that do not pass will be placed on the Exception Report.
  
• Move/Re-Build Transmission File (Billing, Insurance Billing Functions, Electronic Claims) - ***New Functionality*** - If you have the Suppress Legacy Numbers check box selected in the Electronic Claims Integration for an insurance carrier, this program has been updated to no longer place transactions on the Exception Report for missing the UPIN number, since UPIN numbers are no longer being issued.
  
• Move/Re-Build Transmission File (Billing, Insurance Billing Functions, Electronic Claims) - ***New Functionality*** - The edit check to validate the patient's address for electronic claims has been updated to also include validation on the patient's secondary address if they do not have the Primary Address check box selected.

• Patient Registration - The Bill this Carrier field was not defaulting correctly when adding a Medicare Secondary Insurance Policy while registering a new patient. This problem has been corrected.

• Print Insurance Forms (Reports, Corporate Reports, Insurance Functions) - An error would occur when printing Corporate Insurance Forms if no databases were selected.
  
• Delinquent Accounts by Performing Dr (Reports, Delinquent Accounts Receivable Reports) - This report would encounter an error if you selected to print it to MyReports. This has been corrected.
  
• Detailed Diagnosis Analysis (Reports, Statistical Reports) - The report was only picking up patients that had the indicated diagnosis codes entered as a Primary Diagnosis even if the Primary Diagnosis Only check box was not selected. This has been corrected.
  
• Double Sorted Lists of Patients (Reports, Patient Listings, Sorted Lists of Patients) - ***New Functionality*** - Most of the double sorted reports have been enhanced and can now be printed to Excel via MyReports. The updated reports are first sorted by Responsible Doctor or Location and then by: Billing Group, Default Diagnosis, Referral Source, Zip Code, Responsible Doctor, and Default Location. You can also print these reports from the Patient, Patient Listings, Sorted Lists of Patients, Double Sorted Lists of Patients menu.

• Payment Journal (Transactions, Transaction Journals) - Amounts were included in the 'Unallocated' portion that did not belong there if you printed the report in 'Doctor Order' and for only one doctor code. This has been corrected.
  
• Adjustment Journal (Transactions, Transaction Journals) - Amounts were included in the 'Unallocated' portion that did not belong there if you printed the report in 'Doctor Order' and for only one doctor code. This has been corrected.
  
• Procedure Entry Function - ***New Functionality*** - The EMG modifier has been replaced by the EM modifier. **You do NOT need to edit any previously posted transactions that have the EMG modifier, but from this point forward the EM modifier must be used instead of EMG.**
