- Open 'Registry Settings' form.
- Enter search value 'Enable Coverage Effective Period' and click 'View Registry Settings' button.
- Ensure Registry Setting 'Enable Coverage Effective Period' is returned (under 'Avatar MSO -> Claims Processing' path).
- Ensure that 'Enable Coverage Effective Period' Registry Setting may only be set to value 'N' (no/disabled) or 'Y' (yes/enabled); if any value other than 'N' or 'Y' is entered, ensure user is presented with error dialog noting 'The selected value is not valid in the current system code for the following reason: Invalid response -- must be Y or N' and the entry is disallowed.
- Ensure 'Registry Setting Details' field contains the following explanation text:
"Selecting 'Y' will add the ability to define multiple coverage effective periods with the 'CPT Code Definition' and 'Revenue Code Definition' forms. This will allow users to configure different definitions for a single CPT or Revenue Code based upon non-overlapping effective date ranges. Selecting 'Y' will do the following:
1 - Add the fields 'Coverage Period', 'Coverage Effective Date', 'Coverage Expiration Date', 'File Coverage Period', and 'Delete Coverage Period' in the 'CPT Code Definition' and 'Revenue Code Definition' forms.
2 - Add the required fields 'Coverage Period' and 'Coverage Revenue Period' the 'MSO to Parent System Integration Mapping' form for the CPT Code Mapping (Page 6) and Revenue Code Mapping (Page 7).
3 - Re-file all CPT and Revenue Code Definition mappings to map the initial coverage effective date range.
4 - Re-file all CPT and Revenue Code Definitions and create an initial coverage effective date range with an effective date of 1/1/1900.
5 - Update the CPT/Revenue Code Import to support the ability to import more than one definition for a single CPT or Revenue Code as long as the effective dates are provided and are non-overlapping.
NOTE: This registry setting is a ONE WAY registry setting that can only be enabled. Once turned on, this registry setting cannot be disabled."
