New Features

• The kiosk will now be able to collect multiple and all Copays that apply for patients checking in with more than one appointment during one kiosk check-in.
• Multiple eligibility transactions (270/271s) will trigger based on the number of appointments being checked in.  This allows for multiple, different eligibility responses to be displayed for multiple appointments.
• Multiple Copays will be visible on the Patient Bill and Receipt, itemized by Appointment Service.  The Bill will also display any Copays that were not successfully collected during the kiosk check-in.
• Payment posting integration messages from Clearwave to PMS/EHR systems can include itemized Copay amounts for multiple appointments.
• Eligibility transactions that have timed out due to connectivity issues with payers within the past 48 hours will automatically resubmit for an additional eligibility check during non-business hours.

• The Visit/Appointment Searches will now be able to successfully export any Demographics Changed At Mobile Pre-Check flags that have been cleared by a user.
• BCBS Carefirst – Improvements have been made to parsing the correct Copay for PT service type codes.

• Clicking the “Check-In” button on an appointment in the portal multiple times will result in only one check-in.  A patient’s appointment should not be able to be checked in multiple times.
• Cleared Demographics Updated At Mobile Pre-Check and Insurance Updated At Mobile Pre-Check flags will be marked as cleared but remain visible in the portal for Visits and Appointments.
• If the patient’s Name and/or Date of Birth are updated during a kiosk check-in, the eligibility transactions (270/271s) will use the updated data during the Patient Bill calculation for Copay collection.
