CREATING, APPROVING, AND ROUTING A ROSTER Providers will be using TFACTS to create a list of payment records to confirm for invoicing. Payment records are organized onto rosters for ease of processing. A payment requests roster organizes payment requests records which are ready for payment into logical groupings for ease of validation and approval. 3

Disregard and go to the next step. 2. Click Payment Request Search in the link menu. The Payment/Billing Requests Search Screen appears. 4

It is possible to separate each region’s payment records at this point by choosing a region from the drop down menu. 4. No other search criteria is needed. Click Search. The matching payment requests appear in the search results grid. *You can choose how many records will display on each page by changing the number in the display box. The maximum is 100.

POST CUSTODY IN-HOME BILLING PROCEDURES 32
33
Providers will utilize this billing procedure for youth who have exited custody, but are still receiving in-home services through the provider agency. Post Custody In home services billing records are created as “non placement” service authorization type payments (vs residential placement records that are viewed as “contract residential placement service authorization type). After a payment process is run by DCS Central office accounts payable, the approved service authorizations create Post Custody Continuum in home billing records. To view your billing records, select “non placement” service authorization type and select “search” (detailed instructions are provided in the upcoming slides). The system will display the billing records for your organization. Since, these records are created by a different process than residential placements, several differences should be noted. Observe: The payable units created are for one unit. The total amount shown is for one unit times the unit rate. In order to adjust the billing record, providers need to perform the following: Place these records on a separate billing roster. In other words, do not combine this billing record with a regular placement record. You will go to payment/ billing requests search as you have in the past to create a roster as shown on the screen below. 33

Invoicing Temporary Breaks When a provider sees a “R” next to a payment record when they create a roster it may be because the client had a temporary break in services, i.e., absconder episode. These temporary breaks must be put on their own separate roster and sent to Central Office for review. Temporary break records will have a $0 amount and must be routed to Central Office. 47
48
* The red "R" displays only when a record is on a roster. So, when they are removed, the red "R" is not displayed but once they are put on the temporary break roster the red "R" shows up again. These records cannot be "fixed" by providers and must be routed to DCS Central office for follow-up. A ‘R’ next to a payment record denotes a payment needing review. 1.Remove the records from roster by clicking the Remove button on the right hand side of the screen.

HELPFUL HINTS Any field with a red asterisk must be completed in order to go on to the next task. Providers may get a security error when first logging on to the payment page. Disregard and click the Payment/Billing Request Search link. System security allows provider to view their own records but not other providers’ records. Each agency must complete a separate roster for each region. Separate regions in the search process by selecting in which region you want to search for payments. When naming your rosters in the system use the following formula: Provider agency, ending service date, roster # (For example, Omni053120091) 6. Pay attention to the dates and client names to be sure they are correct when creating your roster. If you find an error contact the region’s placement division. That record must be removed from the roster before you approve payments. 7.When you route your roster choose review and route – not approve. If you select approve you will need to contact the region’s fiscal director and start the process over again. 8.After a provider has entered and saved an invoice number on a payment record, the system will return them to the roster page. The invoice number has been saved.. However, if they reopen the payment record to see if it is still in the invoice field, DO NOT "resave" the record because this will remove the invoice number. The correct way to exit the page is to CANCEL. You will be returned by the system to the roster page and your invoice number will not be removed. 57
