News and Notes

  • Sequestration Update
    The changes required to post the Sequestration amount are now available in FastEMC.  If you are posting Medicare Payments, it will make it much easier to apply the correct EOB amounts.  Since the 2% Sequestration amount is taken from the Payment Side it was not easy to make the right postings. Medicare Allows = Insurance Payment + Deductible + Seqestration Disallow + Co Insurance Deducting an Disallow Amount from the payment was not built into the calculations making it impossible to post properly. FINAL NOTE: The Sequestration Disallow can not be passed on to the Co-Insurance or Patient.

  • Dial-Up Submission is SLOW
    Still using Dial-up for Clearinghouse connections? These systems cost you money and are very slow.  Keeping a phone line active is not necessary.  Many clearinghouses are using web based systems.  Shut off that extra phone line and see if you can save money and get a better interface with a clearinghouse.
