Billing Slips

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Red Flag Rules require "...financial institutions and creditors to develop and implement written identity theft prevention programs, as part of the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions (FACT) Act of 2003. The programs must be in place by May 1, 2009, and must provide for the identification, detection, and response to patterns, practices, or specific activities — known as 'red flags' — that could indicate identity theft."

To help you comply with the FTC Red Flag Rules, athenahealth has deidentified patient Social Security numbers (SSNs) on athenaCollector billing slips and forms and documents.

The following three athenaCollector magic words print only the last four digits of the patient's SSN, in the format XXX-XX-1234:

• [[PATIENTINSURANCEINSUREDSSN1]]
• [[PATIENTINSURANCEINSUREDSSN2]]
• [[PATIENTSSN]]

If your practice needs to print the full patient SSN on your athenaCollector billing slips and forms and documents, please contact the CSC by selecting Support > Create Case or Call in the Main Menu. The CSC will replace the deidentified SSN magic words with "actual SSN" athenaCollector magic words.

Note: The corresponding athenaClinicals magic words print the full Social Security number. athenaClinicals magic words are indicated by two pairs of braces {{ }}.

The list of magic words for billing slips shows the two pairs of brackets used in HTML templates. However, if you create a PDF file containing these magic words, do not enclose the magic words in brackets or braces. For example, in a PDF document, enter ADJUSTERFAX (instead of [[ADJUSTERFAX]]).

[[ABNDIAGNOSISCODEX_]] — For magic words ending in "X_," replace X with a number and include the underscore after it.

1. Display the Billing Slips page: On the Main Menu, click Settings > Billing. In the left menu, under Practice Links — Billing Slips and Forms, click Billing Slips.
   
   
2. Name — Enter a name to identify the new billing slip.
3. Specialty — Select the specialty.
4. Departments — Select the departments that can see the billing slip.
5. Ordering — Enter a digit to determine the billing slip's priority in the list of billing slips.
6. Viewable in portal? — Select this option if you want the billing slip to be viewable on the Patient Portal.
7. Type of billing slip — Click HTML or PDF to determine how you view the billing slip.
8. Suppress default header — Select this option to suppress the default header.
9. Suppress default footer — Select this option to suppress the default footer.
10. Billing slip — Enter magic words to create a custom barcode (see below).
11. Click Save.

The magic words for barcodes that use this format are:

• [[ONEDBARCODE WIDTH HEIGHT DATA]]
• [[TWODBARCODE WIDTH HEIGHT DATA]]

WIDTH and HEIGHT refer to the width and height (in pixels) of the custom barcode. DATA should include the data that you want to encode. DATA can include other magic words.

You can specify the library type and whether the barcode should be printed vertically:

• [[ONEDBARCODE [CODE39|CODE128] [VERTICAL] WIDTH HEIGHT DATA]]

If code type is not specified, it defaults to Code 39. If vertical is not specified, the barcode prints horizontally.

Note: 1D barcodes do not support spaces within the DATA (a limitation of 1D barcodes). 2D barcodes can support spaces, so anything after HEIGHT is encoded in the data. Code 39 barcodes with special characters (i.e., ()) fail to load because these characters are not included in the Code 39 barcode library.

Example of a horizontal 1D barcode that uses the Code 128 library:

• [[ONEDBARCODE CODE128 200 100 [[PATIENTID]]: [[PATIENTLASTNAME]], [[PATIENTFIRSTNAME]]]]
  
  

Example of a vertical 1D barcode that uses the Code 39 library:

• [[ONEDBARCODE VERTICAL 200 100 [[PATIENTID]]]]
