One “Mark as Reviewed” to Rule Them All
Regardless of where in the chart you are reviewing your patient’s medications and medication allergies, when you click “Mark as Reviewed,” you can see evidence of that action everywhere medication history and medication allergies display.
Billing
Prevent Certain Claim Responses from Autoposting
Got a special situation with a payor? Create your own custom rule that will prevent autoposting (based on payor and adjustment type) so you can process them on a manual worklist instead.
Find All Claims That Are Out on Appeal
As you work on your practice’s insurance A/R, you can mark encounters with a status, such as “Waiting on Payor” or “Under Review”. Then you can track, organize, and filter your A/R by that status.
Find the Unpaid Encounters Assigned to You
Do you need to make sure you followup on an encounter? You can assign it to yourself or another biller at your practice.
Your Billing Notes, Where and When You Need Them
As you work on a rejection message or any unpaid encounter, you can update the encounter’s billing notes without leaving your worklist.
Quickly Pend All Charges Back to the Payor
Do you need to pend an encounter back to the family’s primary, or switch all the charges to personal? Now you can adjust the responsible party for all procedures with two clicks.
Don’t Send Ear Piercings on Corrected Claims
As needed, send only part of an encounter to a specific payor. Pick exactly which procedures from an encounter should appear on the claim.
Quickly Print a Paper HCFA Claim Form
Sometimes, you still need a HCFA! In those rare cases when you need a paper claim, print one with the click of a button.
Easily Delete Refunds, Write-Offs, and Takebacks Posted By Mistake
Oops! You posted an insurance takeback to the wrong account. PCC 10.5 makes it easy to quickly delete refunds, write-offs, and reversals.
PILOT TEST: Check the Current Status on a Claim in PCC EHR
Instead of opening the payor’s website or calling them, see their latest claim status right in PCC EHR. This feature is in a pilot test for PCC 10.5, and will be made available to all practices soon.
Practice Administration & Oversight
Get Paid for Clinical Quality Measures (CQMs)
When you need to collect data for your PCMH certification or other external clinical quality measures, use three new CQM reports in the Report Library to find the information you need.
Optimize Your Providers’ Schedules
How can you tell if you’re making the most of your scheduling resources? The improved Provider Schedule Utilization report gives you data on appointment distribution across your schedules, providers, and locations over time.
Are Your Patients Eligible for VFC?
Maintain your practice’s Vaccines for Children (VFC) enrollment with the new VFC Patient Population report in the Report Library. Annual VFC reporting is faster and easier when you use this report to determine the eligibility status of various age groups within your patient population.
Send Even More Data to Your Business Office
Export large data sets from the Report Library with one click. Use the “Export Results” button to save a CSV with over 20,000 rows right to your workstation’s Downloads folder.
Export Reports While Working Remotely
Download a report while working remotely via SecureConnect by clicking any “Export” button in the Report Library. Retrieve the exported file from the Downloads folder on your local workstation.
Reveal Inactive EHR Users
Find the users you’re looking for without the clutter of inactive users getting in the way. In PCC EHR’s User Administration tool, inactive users are hidden by default.
