[#21916] Select a billing route depending on the referring facility

Did you know that EMSOW has a feature called “Billing routes”? It is a configurable medical billing rule that EMSOW uses to automatically determine what clearing house connector should be used for electronic claim submission.

EMSOW integrates with any clearing house that supports the X12 5010 standard for professional claims (837P), and, thanks to the billing routes, you can work even with multiple clearing houses!

Starting with this update, it is possible to specify particular referring facilities in the condition of a billing route, meaning that you can use a specific clearing house connection to bill for procedures rendered at specific nursing homes and doctors’ offices:

To access the billing routes, follow the path Setup → Rules → Billing Routes in the main EMSOW menu.

[#15896] Merge insurance records

If you receive order data from many sources, including HL7 ORM and DFT messages, API integrations and manual data entry, you may be dealing with a lot of duplicate entries in the Setup → Insurances directory.

Now you can merge these duplicate records and map insurance departments:
