 ;; 

 ;;A/R MANAGER ACTION ITEMS

 ;; 

 ;;Only a few 'action items' need to be accomplished by the A/R Manager.

 ;;These are 'MANDATORY ACTION ITEMS'.

 ;; 

 ;;**1** "Parent Satellite Parameters" "Start & Stop Dates."

 ;; 

 ;;WHEN ADDING NEW SATELLITES

 ;;

 ;;The A/R manager must edit the "Parent Satellite Parameters" file

 ;;and enter appropriate Start and Stop Dates for the satellites. This

 ;;affects which parent facility bills are loaded and/or reloaded into

 ;;from Third Party Billing.

 ;; 

 ;;**2** "Site Parameter File" "Accept 3P Bills"

 ;; 

 ;;The Site Parameter file needs to be reviewed by the A/R Manager to 

 ;;insure the proper setting of this field.

 ;;

 ;;IMPORTANT NOTE: Bills will NOT come over from Third Party if this

 ;;parameter is not set to 'YES'.

 ;; 

 ;;**3**  "BILL FILE ERROR SCAN" 

 ;; 

 ;;A new menu option has been added on the A/R manager's menu called

 ;;Bill File Error Scan. This option will examine all bills in the 

 ;;A/R Bill File for the selected date range, looking for various

 ;;error conditions including small balance, negative balance, and 3P

 ;;mis-matches. New reports have been added to report on the various

 ;;error conditions.

 ;;

 ;;This option should be run after the installation of version 1.1 and

 ;;then at periodic intervals to insure proper rollbacks.

 ;; 

 ;;**4** Enable 3P Rollback from Posting Menus.

 ;; 

 ;;Rollback to 3P from the posting menus has been added. A new Site

 ;;parameter has been added called 'Roll Over During Posting'. The

 ;;choices are 'Yes', 'No', and 'Ask'. If answered 'Ask', users will be

 ;;asked if they want to roll over during posting. If answered 'yes' 

 ;;A/R Bills posted to a zero balance will immediately roll over to 

 ;;Third Party Billing. If answered 'no', roll over will have to be

 ;;accomplished by the 'Roll Back Bills to 3-Party' menu option.

 ;; 

 ;;**5**  Account Statements Menu option

 ;;

 ;;A new menu option has been added to generate monthly statements for

 ;;patient or non-beneficiary accounts. Accounts must be flagged with

 ;;the 'Flag Accounts' option before statements will be generated. 

 ;;When run the first time, the option will look back 30 days for all

 ;;flagged accounts and list the beginning balance, all transactions

 ;;for the 30 day time period, and the ending account balance. If the

 ;;'Print Account Statements' option is run on following days, the 

 ;;account will not be included again until 30 days have passed since

 ;;the last statement.
