ADJBALEXCL
- EXCLUDE CODES FROM ADJUDICATION BALANCED CALCULATION
- A calculation is performed when manually posting payments to confirm that the payment is balanced.
- The "does it balance" calculation is: Charge-Allowed-Adjustments=0
- If the result is not zero, a validation warning is presented to the user.
- Payers will sometimes add codes that throw off this calculation, but the adjudication is still correct. One example would be codes used for sequestration, which made it appear the payer was over-adjusting. If a remit code is being used that is falsely throwing off the Balanced calculation (and therefore triggering false validation warnings), add the code to this setting.
- This will change the Balanced calculation to: Charge-Allowed-Adjustments+Adjustment Exclusions (specified in this setting)=0
- Multiple codes can be entered as long as they are comma separated, with no spaces.
- Note that the unbalanced edit for Electronic Remits is handled by ERA Management rules (Libraries > ERA Management). The ADJBALEXCL setting only effects manually posted payments.

COMPLETESELFCOPAY
- BYPASS WARNING WHEN INSURANCE IS PATIENT ON A COPAY RECEIPT

- When insurance is Patient and
- the linked Copay Receipt is higher than zero.

- No and (---): Do not bypass this warning.
CROSSOVERMAPPING
- DEFAULT SETTING TO ALLOW CROSSOVER MAPPINGS
- Background: When a Medicare electronic remit comes into the system showing a secondary that does not exist on the Patient's Insurance Profile, that Remit will go on Hold. A user will then need to update the Profile so the remaining balance can be transferred to the correct secondary.
- Crossover Mappings can be used to connect secondary payers on the Medicare Remit to the correct Insurance in the Library. Once mappings have been created, going forward the secondary insurance will be added automatically to the Patient's Insurance Profile when the electronic remit is processed.
- Note that the Policy # will be "UNKNOWN" for the system-added secondary. If the secondary insurance remittance also comes in electronically, the secondary policy # will be automatically updated based on the information in the Remit.
- Yes and (---): Use the Crossover Mapping feature when posting ERAs.
- No: Do not use the Crossover Mapping feature. I will resolve these situations manually.
