Billing Changes Under 4.1.0.5

Hi,

I was finishing up an upgrade and the billing person had some questions that I could not answers. Could one of the billing guru’s chime in on this list of questions?  Thanks you!

QUESTIONS:
1)What is the purpose of the MSP field in FEES>PAYMENT?  There is now a place for MSP (medicare secondary payor) info in patient demographics so I’m not sure why it is necessary to make a selection in payment entry.  PLUS if I have to utilize this field, one of the most common MPS #'s is missing…#43.
2)What is the purpose of the “NOTE CODES” field?  What should I utilize this for?
3)What is the purpose of “RSN” AND “FOLLOW UP REASON” in FEES>PAYMENTS?  We had these 2 fields prior to upgrade but I don’t know when it would be necessary to utilize them.

I would appreciate any replys on these questions.
