Note: Deactivated payment plans do not appear in this menu unless the charge is currently assigned to that plan. You cannot assign the primary charge to a cancelled plan using this page.

For anesthesia claims generated from time sheets:

• When you change the primary payer for an existing anesthesia primary claim, athenaOne can re-create a claim's charges according to the new destination payer's anesthesia settings.
• athenaOne re-creates the charges using the original time sheet data. Claim data is otherwise preserved, including claim notes, original claim ID, prior authorization number, etc.
• When charges are re-created from the time sheet as a result of changing payers, all time sheet data is refreshed. This refresh includes, but is not limited to, data such as diagnosis codes, service department, referring provider, surgeon, etc.

Enter or select the effective dates for this authorization or referral.

Select Visits or Units from the menu, and then enter the number of approved units or visits in both fields. athenaOne automatically decrements the number of authorized visits or units.

If you select units, a procedure code is required. The count of remaining units decreases by the number of units associated with the procedure codes listed in the authorization, regardless of any other charge on the claim. For example, you first create an authorization using units = 10 and a procedure code of 99215. You then create a claim using this authorization where procedure code 99215 bills for 3 units. The authorization decreases by 3, and the remaining units on that authorization are now 7.

The provider who renders services to the patient. This field is typically used for internal tracking and reporting purposes; the selected provider will generally not appear as the rendering provider on the claim.

The provider whose credentials you intend to submit on the claim. This can be the provider who supervised the services or an individual who was supervised by another provider. In either case, use this field to identify the provider that you want to submit on the claim. The provider you select using the Supervising provider field typically appears as the rendering provider on the claim. For example, on a CMS-1500 claim form, the provider you select using the Supervising provider field typically appears in Box 24J, and the provider's name appears in Box 31.

Note: If the selected Rendering provider has a supervising provider, a note appears next to the Supervising provider field.

If you arrive at the Charge Entry page through the appointment or missing slips workflow, the default selection in the Supervising provider - Required field is as follows:

• Rendering provider — If the rendering provider is classified as a supervising provider.
• Patient's usual provider — If the rendering provider is not classified as a supervising provider.
  Note: If the patient's usual provider is not indicated in athenaOne, a link to the Quickview appear, so that you can add the usual supervising provider for the practice.

Important: Any provider whose credentials you intend to submit on claims must be configured as a supervisory provider type on the Providers page so that you can select that provider using the Supervising provider field. For example, you cannot select a physician's assistant with a provider type of PA, but you can select a physician's assistant with a provider type of PASUP.

The provider selected as the Rendering provider appears by default as the Supervising provider if the Rendering provider is one of the following provider types:

• OPTOMETRIST (OD)
• PHYSICIAN'S ASSISTANT, SUPERVISING
• LICENSED PROFESSIONAL COUNSELOR (LPC)
• DOCTOR OF PODIATRIC MEDICINE
• CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGIST (PHD)

Procedure code best identifying each medical service or medical supply provided.

Note: If you enter more than six procedure codes on one claim, athenaOne generates an additional claim (or claims) to accommodate the charges.

Use this section to record additional diagnosis codes that may be required by a payer to support value-based reimbursement but are not tied to a specific charge line or CPT code (for example, codes for pre-existing conditions). This section records any diagnoses entered on charge integration (Billing tab in athenaClinicals) that you have not associated with a procedure code. Also, you can manually enter diagnosis codes in this section to submit these codes on the claim without tying them to a specific charge line.

You can enter up to 12 diagnosis codes per claim. If the total number of diagnosis codes exceeds 12, athenaOne does not send all the diagnosis codes entered in this section on the claim. After you click Create Claim, athenaOne creates a new claim note to indicate which codes it was not able to add to the claim, and these codes move to the Internal Use - Other Diagnoses section, so that you can review them on the Claim Action or Claim Edit page.

If your practice has the Automatically Split Claims with Excess Diagnoses Codes setting enabled, athenaOne automatically splits claims with more than 12 diagnosis codes when the additional diagnoses are not associated with a procedure billed on the claim

You can enter up to 12 diagnosis codes per claim. If the total number of diagnosis codes exceeds 12, athenaOne automatically generates additional claims to accommodate the excess diagnoses which are not associated with a procedure billed on the claim, and links the diagnoses to placeholder procedure code 99499. After you click Create Claim, athenaOne automatically splits the claim and you can see a note automatically appear on Claim Edit.

 

When this feature creates a claim with related claims, the athenaOne system holds all claims together (and releases them together as well).

 

Setup instructions

Ask athenahealth to enable the Automatically Split Claims with Excess Diagnoses Codes setting. Contact the CSC or your onboarding project team. On the Main Menu, click Support then Create Case or Call.

 

Before you can use this feature, you must add placeholder procedure code 99499 in your fee schedule with a cost value greater than $0.00 and less than $1.00. For more information about Fee Schedules, see Fee Schedules in O-help.

Important

If the placeholder procedure code 99499 is not in your fee schedule with a cost value greater than $0.00 and less than $1.00:

• You’ll see an error when the athenaOne system tries to automatically split a claim.
• The claim will be created with a claim note explaining that overflow diagnoses were dropped

 

Checkboxes appear for any appointments scheduled for the patient on the same day and department, listed chronologically, including multi-resource slots.

These checkboxes reflect any selections made on the Check-in page. On the Charge Entry page, you need to select a reason for not requiring charge entry for any checked appointments (see below).

Before you click the Mark Appointment As Not Requiring Charge Entry link, enter the reason why this claim does not require charge entry.

This value is typically populated from the anesthesia time sheet. But, the practice user can complete this field on the charge entry page. Further, rules can be conditioned on the anesthesia type selected.

For example, if the practice user identifies the services as a monitored anesthesia case (MAC), a rule could be created to require the user to modify the anesthesia services with a MAC modifier.

You may notice a change in hold volume for claims related to COVID-19 care as rules adapt to changing payer requirements and as athenahealth gains more information about COVID-19 federal grant requirements.

Note: You can use the Report Builder to report on the answers to this question in the COVID-19 service type add-on.
