The newest version of RevolutionEHR includes several new preferences with the goal of streamlining scheduling activities in your practice. These preferences include creating a default schedule view for the practice, changing the display order of employees on the schedule, a new permission for editing employee hours and several other new scheduling preferences. Create a Default Schedule View for the Practice A default schedule view can now be created at the practice level so that all employees view the same schedule. The practice level preference will be over written if an individual employee sets their own schedule preference. To create a default schedule view for the practice, go to More -> Administration -> General -> Practice Preferences -> Additional Preferences and look for the ‘Schedule Filter’ option in the Scheduling area.

Practice Preference to Only Show "My Patients" in Today's Patients Screen The ‘Today’s Patients’ screen in the patient module offers the ability to limit the schedule view to only show patients scheduled for the employee currently logged in.

1.6 Inventory 1.6.1 New CPT Services Available

New CPT services are now available for use and are automatically included in all new practices and locations. The new codes include:

92071 – Fitting of contact lens for treatment of ocular surface disease

92072 – Fitting of contact lens for management of keratoconus, initial fitting

These new codes can be added to your practice by going to More -> Inventory -> Services -> CPT Services. Once added, they will be available for use in the system.

Dr. Brownlow has provided an important advisory to be included regarding these codes:

Effective January 1, 2012, Current Procedural Terminology (CPT© American Medical Association) deleted 92070, the code that has been used for years to report the fitting and supply of a bandage contact lens. 92070 has been replaced by two new codes:

treatment of ocular surface disease

fitting CPT has made it clear, both in CPT Assistant and CPT Changes: An Insider’s View 2012, that the new codes are unilateral, are meant to be used for reporting the fitting of the lens only, and that neither code includes the supply of the lens. CPT offers additional notes for the new codes, including “(Do not report 92071 in conjunction with 92072)”, and “(Report supply of lens separately with 99070 or appropriate supply code)”. Since 99070, supply of materials, is commonly rejected by Medicare carriers and some other insurers, it may be wise to use ‘appropriate supply codes’ to report the supply of the contact lens in combination with 92071 and 92072. The only ‘supply codes’ that we know of are the V codes, V25XX, in the CMS Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System (HCPCS). We know that some insurers have followed that logic and consider the HCPCS codes to be appropriate, though apparently others have not.

Page 22: Release Notes 5.4.1 - Draft 3

Page 22 of 34

All information contained in this document is confidential and solely the property of Health Innovation Technologies, Inc.

Several challenges have arisen with respect to insurers’ handling of the new codes: 1. Some insurers have not changed their internal listings of CPT codes to include 92071 or 92072 and are requiring that bandage lens be reported using the deleted code, 92070. We assume that this issue is self-limiting and all carriers will eventually begin using the new codes. 2. Some insurers, including some Medicare carriers, are treating the new codes as they did 92070, and consider the supply of the lens to be included in the reimbursement for 92071 and 92072. 3. Medicare and some other insurers never reimburse for 99070, supply of materials, making it fruitless to bill 99070 in combination with either 92071 or 92072. 4. Some Medicare carriers view all HCPCS codes (and possibly other supply codes) as being covered by Medicare’s DMEPOS, rather than by Part B Medicare, yet we have not heard of any doctor being successful in receiving payment from DMEPOS for a bandage contact lens. 5. Some insurers do not consider keratoconus to be a medical condition and thus will reject any claim for 92072, with or without materials, due to the diagnosis.

1.6.2 Deactivated Items on Inventory Reports

All inventory reports can now include deactivated inventory if required. To include items that have previously been deactivated in an inventory report (More -> Inventory -> Inventory Reports) unselect the 'Active Items Only' checkbox before running the report.

1.7 Administration

To set employee preferences, go to More -> Administration -> Employees/Roles -> Employees. Open an employee and click on the Preferences slider. The following preferences can be set for the employee:

1.7.2 Review of RFV, ROS, and PFSH Screens Tracked in Audit Logs

A log of all system activity can be reviewed by going to More -> Administration -> Employees/Roles -> Reports -> Audit Log

1.7.3 Create Credentials for Partner Connections

If RevolutionEHR credentials need to be created for specific vendor and equipment connections, this can now be done directly in Administration. To create or view credentials for the practice, go to More -> Administration -> General -> Practice Preferences -> Partner Integrations Credentials needed for various services are displayed on the screen.

To enable or disable an integration, click on the service and click the Enable/Disable button.

1.7.4 Remove Username from Screen when Logging Out

By default, upon logging out RevolutionEHR retains the username in the login screen to reduce the number of steps to log back in. This feature can be disabled or re-enabled as a practice or employee preference. To set this feature as a practice preference, go to More -> Administration -> General -> Practice Preferences -> Additional Preferences. Look for the ‘Remove username on logout’ option in the General area. To set this feature as an employee preference, go to More -> Administration -> Employees/Roles -> Employees.

Interview Templates can be managed by going to More -> Administration -> Encounters/Interviews -> Interview Templates.

Customizing interview templates is very similar to customizing encounters, both of which are customized through a series of screens and steps.
