CAS-4083 CUG 2007 Give users the ability to change the order of information on their electronic statements Benefit: Users can create a customized electronic statement format This process has been tested and approved with Zirmed. If you do not use Zirmed you will need to contact your clearinghouse to see if they are able to work with the file the system produces. Refer to the MB User Guide for setup instructions. Go to the Search tab and search on the word "ELECTRONIC3". USE INSTRUCTIONS When printing ELECTRONIC3 statements you will be presented with a print preview of the report. To create the file to upload to Zirmed click on the export button in the tool bar, choose "Text" under the Format drop down, enter "0" in the Lines Per Page prompt and press OK, leave the Export To Text value at "16" and press OK. You will then be prompted to choose where the file should be saved. Note that the name defaults to ELECTRONIC3.txt each time an export is done so the name will need to be changed if you don't want to overwrite previously created files. Press [Save] and the file will be saved to the location of your choosing. Upload the file to Zirmed. The first time you upload the new file expect it to error. Zirmed has instructed us that you should put your customer ID in the subject and indicate in the you have uploaded the new Cortex (43361) format and they will know what to do from there. The new "ELECTRONIC3 Statements Not Printed" report is the equivalent of the cover page produced when paper statements are printed that shows you the statement run information and lists all statements that were not printed. It can be found in the Reports section of the Patient Statement Billing module. Run this report after generating ELECTRONIC3 statements (you do not need to enter any parameter values, just press Print or Print Preview when the ROI appears).
