Overview

HHAeXchange’s Billing functionality is composed of two internal auditing processes which ensure that:

1. Visit information is accurate before it is invoiced.

2. Invoices contain the proper export requirements before being sent to the Payer.

If the billing data satisfies export requirements on each of these auditing, or Exception, pages, invoices may be exported as an E-Billing Claim or Paper Invoice. Please review the flowchart below for a quick breakdown of this process (Exception pages highlighted in orange):

Further inquiry concerning the contents of this document should be directed to HHAeXchange Customer Support.

The Enterprise System

Billing Process Guide Page | 2 Invoicing and E-Billing/Paper Invoice Generation Billing Diagnosis Codes Proprietary & Confidential

Billing Diagnosis Codes

The system splits Diagnosis Codes into two categories: “Clinical Codes” and “Billing Codes”. Clinical Codes are those Diagnosis Codes enter on the Patient clinical Info page and applied to Patient MD Orders. “Billing Codes”, on the other hand, are those Diagnosis Codes which are applied to invoices. “Billing Codes” may be entered in one of three places:

1. The Billing Diagnosis Code(s) field on the Patient Authorization page:

Billing Diagnosis Code(s) Field

2. The Patient Diagnosis Code Override link on the Patient Contract page:

Patient Diagnosis Code Override

The Enterprise System

Billing Process Guide Page | 3 Invoicing and E-Billing/Paper Invoice Generation Billing Diagnosis Codes Proprietary & Confidential

3. The Default Billing DX Code on the Contract Billing / Collection page:

Default Billing DX Code Field

The system will search for a value in each of these fields when a Visit is invoiced. In the event that a value exists for each of these fields for a Visit, the system will priorities the “Billing Code” as follows:

• Diagnosis Codes entered on Patient Authorizations (Authorization-level) receive the “highest priority”, meaning the system will use the Authorization’s code for billing even if the Patient has one associated with their Profile (Patient Diagnosis Code Override) or the associated Contract has a Default Billing DX Code.

• Diagnosis Codes entered using the Patient Diagnosis Code Override function (Patient-level) receive “secondary priority”, meaning the system will use the Patient-level code for invoicing even if the associated Contract has a default code set as well. If an Authorization code is applied, however, the system will use the Authorization code in place of the Patient-level code.

• Diagnosis Codes entered using the Default Billing DX Code(s) function (Contract-level) receive the “lowest priority”, meaning the system will use the Patient-level code or Authorization-level code for invoicing even if the associated Contract has a default code set as well. If neither the Patient or Authorization-level codes are set, the system will utilize the code entered on the Contract.

Billing Review Validation Issue

HCFA 1500 and UB 04 Invoices

The HCFA 1500 and UB 04 invoices are two of the most common invoice formats. Like all other invoices, information will be pulled from Patient Profiles, Visit, and billing information in the system and be mapped to these invoice formats. Additionally, you have the ability to override certain values on the HCFA 1500 and UB 04 at either the Contract level or the Patient level. To override invoice values at the Contract level, complete the following:

1. Navigate to Admin > Contract Setup and click the Additional Info HCFA 1500 or Additional Info UB 04 links. A popup will allow you to override information based on the locator field number on either invoice form.

Edit Invoice Information

2. In the example above, “Test Name 123” will print in Location 4 (Insured Name field) on all invoices for Patients under this Contract. If no fields are modified here, invoices will print with information pulled from the Patient record, or with no values at all.

To override invoice values at the Patient level, complete the following:

3. Navigate to Patient > Patient Search and select the desired Patient

4. Click on the Contracts link in the Index:

Contracts Page

5. From the Contracts page, click the Additional Info HCFA 1500 or Additional Info UB 04 link to open similar locator modifiers (see Edit Invoice Information image).

6. Edit the fields you want to change for the specific Patient and click [Save].

Billing Process Guide Page | 17 Invoicing and E-Billing/Paper Invoice Generation Alternative Billing Scenarios Proprietary & Confidential

Alternative Billing Scenarios

The Billing process is subject to subtle variations depending on internal Agency configuration, the type of service or item being billed, and the Contract being billed. This section will cover these variations and how they impact the Billing process.

Service Code Validation Bypass

Service Codes may be setup to bypass most Prebilling validations and/or all Billing Review page. This means Visits scheduled with certain Service Codes may be billed without fulfilling requirements specified by your Agency or by the authorizing Contract. To setup Service Codes to bypass Prebilling and/or Billing Review validations, complete the following:

1. Navigate to Admin > Reference Table Management

2. Select Contract Service Code from the Reference Table dropdown.

3. Click on or edit an existing Service Code.

4. Select the Bypass Prebilling Validations and/or Bypass Billing Review Validations checkbox(s).

Contract Service Code: Bypass Prebilling/Billing Review Validations

5. Schedule a Visit with the Service Code if you want it to bypass Prebilling and/or Billing Review validations.

Visits setup to bypass Prebilling will still be held for violating the following validations:

• Incomplete Confirmation

• With TEMP Caregiver

• OT/TT Not Approved

• Restricted Caregiver

On the Patient Calendar page, any Visit scheduled with a Service Code setup to ignore Prebilling validations will display in white to indicate it is not governed by any Authorizations:

The Enterprise System

Billing Process Guide Page | 18 Invoicing and E-Billing/Paper Invoice Generation Alternative Billing Scenarios Proprietary & Confidential

Visit Scheduled with “Bypass Prebilling Validation” Service Code

Enforcing “POC Compliance” at Billing Review

The POC Compliance validation may be set to hold Visits at either Prebilling or Billing Review. By default, POC Compliance will hold Visits on the Prebilling page until an Agency representative contacts HHAeXchange to switch the validation to hold Visits on the Billing Review page.

The Billing Review validation rules may be reviewed by clicking the Export/Print Validations for E-Billing and/or Paper Invoicing link under the Billing/Collections tab of the Contract Setup page. Item 36, Visit meets POC Compliance requirements, controls whether the system applies this validation rule for E-Billing and/or Paper Invoicing.

POC Compliance Billing Validation

The POC Compliance validation behaves identically whether set for Prebilling or Billing Review. This means Visits must meet the Contract’s Required Compliance before they can pass either Exception page. The difference is at what point in the billing process a Visit is held due to non-compliance:

• When POC Compliance is set for Prebilling, Visits that do not meet the Required Compliance cannot be invoiced.

• When POC Compliance is set for Billing Review, Visits that do not meet the Required Compliance may be invoiced, but the invoice cannot be exported or printed for billing purposes.

If a claim included in an 837 EDI file has to be adjusted or voided, users must place the claim(s) on “hold” to ensure they are not automatically applied to a future claim batch. To hold a claim, users must:

1. Navigate to the visit associated with the denied claim.

2. In the Visit Window, select the Bill Info tab.

3. Select the checkbox for the new field Place Updated Visit on Hold. Selecting this checkbox will stop the claim from being included in a new claim batch.

4. Select a Manual Hold Reason. This value will be associated with the claim when users look it up on the Billing Review exception page.

Note: Values for this field are generated via the Reference Table Management function.

5. Using the Claim Submission Type dropdown, specify whether it is an Original, Adjusted, or Voided claim.

6. If the claim is being Adjusted or Voided, include the TRN Number in the corresponding field.

7. When the necessary corrections have been made, unselect the Place Updated Visit on Hold checkbox.

8. The claim is now ready to be included in a new batch.

New Fields, Bill Info Tab

Each time a claim is included in a new batch, the reference number will be recorded by the E-billing Batch # field on the Bill Info tab. Users may click on the reference number to navigate directly to the claim batch.

Banked Minutes

The Banked Minutes function’s intended for customers with specific billing requirements, and will only function for customers with Contracts that require Agencies to round the confirmed Visit duration down to the near 60-minute interval.

Matching Duration Contribution Function (DFTA)

The Matching Duration Contribution function allows Agencies to split billing between an Internal Contract and Private Pay Contract. This function was developed specifically for Agencies who manage DFTA cases, as Patients receiving service under a DFTA Contract frequently contribute for a portion of the services they received. The amount contributed by the Patient is based on the rate of a specific Service Code which may be unique to the Patient. Furthermore, both the DFTA and Private Pay invoices must be generated for the full duration of the services.
