eClaims: Add Remittance Transaction Date

A new 'Transaction Date' and ‘Days since Transaction Date’ column has been introduced in "Submitted Claims: with Remittance” view. This will show the Transaction Date and days passed since the transaction date from the Remittance Advice. Along with that color-code records will be displayed based on “Days since Transaction Date” and will imply as described below 

• 0 – 10 Days                         Sand (the usual color) 

• 11 – 17 Days                       Purple 

• 18 – 21 Days                       Dark Pink 

• 22 Days or More                 Grey

 Note 

Any record that is Reconciled or Resubmitted will be moved from this view, and therefore there is no need to define a color.

eClaims Reconciliation Report 

A new report has been developed on actions taken by the user at the Remittance Advise dialog (i.e. Reconcile the paid amount and Assign the unpaid amount to the Patient and so on).

This report will identify the claim settlement details (which claim is completely settled and for resubmission of partially paid / rejected completely) and to prepare report for the reconciliation.
