Release Notes for CareRight 6.91

Major Features

Overnight and Long Stay IHC Claiming

CareRight is now certified for Overnight IHC Claims.

Enhancements

Assessments > Now support pattern and other attributes

Where an Assessment uses a Patient Field, this will enforce the same rules, pattern and usage hints as the wider CareRight UI.

Customers are strongly encouraged to test their core patient assessments

In particular:

Medicare Number input fields are now limited to 10 characters and basic validations are performed.

3M™ Grouper Plus Content Services (GPCS)- Release Notification v2023.2.2

CareRight now uses Grouper 2023.2.2

Guarantors > Claiming & Claim Contract Set up for a Group of Funds

Where a Guarantor is a member of a group of funds, and your agreements with the health funds are applicable to the entire group, you can simply opt in to using a single set of claim contracts at the group of funds levels.

For example, if you had an agreement with the AHSA group, for each fund under their umbrella you can now select Use parent fund for claiming.

This means you now only have to set up one set of claim contracts for the entire AHSA group.

Where there are newly added funds to the group, with different claim contract setup, simply leave this setting unchecked and Guarantor level claim contracts will take prescedence.

Invoices > See where receipt was generated from more easily

Receipts and Refunds will now show if they are via Eclipse, an Online Batch. This change helps when both the Patient and the Health Fund are contributing to the payment of an Invoice, allowing you to see this at a glance.

Admissions > IHC Claims > Held from Claiming Reason

Held for Claims is now located under the Admission Funding section. You can now capture a reason.

In the Invoice & Claims Unsent screens, you can now see what the reason to hold claims was by hovering over when it was held.

Appointment > Requires Interpreter & Interpret Details

When booking an appointment, if the patient has indicated they require an interpreter; the details are now shown.

PCOC > Improved Episode Level validations

Where users enter a series of incorrect data when recording PCOC Phases, the system validates this prior to export.

Palliative Admissions > QHAPDC Reporting

Where customers do not perform PCOC assessments but the admission is still considered palliative, PCOC can be opted out of via the Admission category. This allows QHADPC exports to be created, reporting Not Assessed.

Note: Customers with existing palliative admission categories must review setup.

Correspondence Templates > SMS Builder > Ability to toggle fullscreen

Waitlist > Filter by Location

Generic Codes - Export, Append and Replace

Main article: Generic Codes Overview.

CareRight now features the ability to export, replace or append codes.

OEC Results > Rejected by Health Fund

Now a full OEC report is generated when the health fund rejects, rather than displaying as an error. Timeouts, communication errors, etc still display as errors.

Additionally, Pre-Existing Condition indicators known by the health fund in the response are now displayed.
