eTHOMAS v9.3 is Here!

Yep, this is pretty much what it looks like outside right now.

Well, Well – oh happy day, eTHOMAS v9.3 is here. The servers are being updated with care, as we chat here, and the update document and instructions have been lovingly gathered and prepared for you.  New version releases are often like getting a box in the mail addressed to you, full of good stuff.  Are you ready?

I threw together a quick list of some of the features I really like that might rock your world – or at least let it be a happier place.


Enhanced patient benefit viewing and use options in eTHOMAS.  There is a new system setting called BENEFITS.
  • Option=1 Patient benefits are expired or non-existent? THOMAS will automatically open a box for you to add them.  
  • Option=2 Patient benefits are expired or non-existent?  You can go ahead and post and not worry about seeing any annoying reminder pop-up boxes.  
  • Option=3 Patient benefits are expired or non-existent and you are in the benefits list? You will be able to toggle between and choose which benefit you/they want to have active for the charge.

Now you can access and view 835 payment reports directly in eTHOMAS. This includes being able to click on a patient insurance payment and have it link you to the 835 it was autoposted from. We’re having some fun now huh?!  :D

You asked for it- wish granted!  You will now be able to add a two-line, patient specific message that will print out on your patient paper statements.

There are some new eTHOMAS group and individual security enhancements that are now available to you.  The one that caught my eye first is the ability to set effective and expiry dates for employees with access to your THOMAS system.

UB04 – if you need it and use it you know what it is.  Yes, there are enhancements in the new version for you too!

You can check for more changes listed under “what’s new” under Messages in eTHOMAS. And for the full what is and how to manual for v9.3, you can view the new features documentation at http://www.media.geniussolutions.com/

eTHOMAS v9.3- proof again that we really do care!  Ok, now go follow the best practices for updating your eTHOMAS (i.e. get everyone out of THOMAS, back THOMAS up, do the AutoUpdate, and have a cuppa something good while you wait for us to deliver new THOMAS goodness to you).
