Selecting 'Y' will enable the new 'Quick Billing' format, including the following changes:

  1. The Quick Billing Rule Definition form is updated with several new fields including Include Primary And/Or Secondary Billing, Include Zero Charge Services, and Include Services Assigned for Re-Bill. 
  2. The Client Exclusion Criteria dictionary is updated to include 5 additional selections.
  3. This form is also modified to optionally allow specification of roll-up rule definitions and the order in which to execute them, and optional filtering of program selection by treatment service.
  4. The Quick Billing Group Definition form is updated to allow further specification of scheduled process criteria, including a list of Tasks To Execute as part of the process and Email Address(es) to Send Notificationsto allow for email alerts when the scheduled process completes.
  5. The Electronic Billing form is updated to include the Include Primary And/Or Secondary Billing field.
  6. The Quick Billing form is updated to include the fields File Filter, Launch Workscreen, and Quick Billing Tasks to Execute. Also, the process of the Print 837 Report is modified to display reports claims with no errors, claims with errors, and claims requiring delay reason codes. Below are three examples of what is displayed for the File Name:
    1. The 1st position is the files position in the drop-down list.
    2. The 2nd position is the Date Range from the prompts above.
    3. The 3rd position is the Description from the Quick Billing Rule Group Definition.
    4. The 4th position will, if applicable provide the message of what needs correcting. If there is nothing to correct all remaining positions shift.
    5. The 5th position is the number of the Quick Billing Batch that was created, this number is only included when Delay Reason Codes are needed.
    6. The 6th position is the date the batch was processed.
    7. The 7th position is the time the batch was processed.

This is a one-time, system-wide registry setting and the associated functionality cannot be disabled once the registry setting is enabled. This should not be enabled in a Live/Production environment until it has been done in the Test/UAT area first. This will not only allow for end user training on the new format but will provide an opportunity to fully test the impact of enabling the new format on the system. 

Once this setting has been enabled, it will no longer be able to be viewed in the Registry Settings form.
