MedLook Weekly Tip For 12/12/2005

Batch Billing Insurance - Reprints   Return to Archive

Occasionally it happens that an entire batch of insurance claims may need to be reprinted or re-submitted for whatever reason. In MedLook this is very easy. When creating your claims if you check the 'Save Batch For Reprint' option the entire set of claims are saved for later recall, EXACTLY AS THEY WERE SUBMITTED. To recall the claims simply check the 'Reprint From Batch' option and from the 'Batch Date' list select the date of the batch you need to regenerate. Select 'Process Claims' and your claims will appear exactly as before (regardless of any edits you may have made).

There are a couple of important things to note about this process. First, you must have the 'Set Submission Date' checked or the reprints will not be saved. Second, the claims will be recalled EXACTLY as they were presented regardless of any edits to insurance, etc., you may have made.

Since these claims files can become rather large over time we recommend that you occasionally purge them. The '(DOL) Purge' (for Date Of Last Purge) is used just for this purpose. Simply enter the latest date you are interested in keeping reprints for and then select 'Purge Reprints'. All reprints prior to that date will be deleted.

Reprints are great if you need to generate EXACTLY the same claims a second time. Many times this is not the case because you need to pick up some edits you may have made (e.g. a payor id, upin #, etc.). In this case it would be better to use the 'Start Date/End Date' with the 'Unsubmitted Charges Only' NOT checked. Of course, individual claims can easily be generated in the patient's account or by using the Advanced Filters discussed in the prior tip (12/05/05).
