Two Friendly Tips From Our THOMAS Tips GoTo Gal, Kathleen

DO REMEMBER & USE your eTHOMAS Claim Filing Limit Report!
This report will help you manage your patient claims better, especially with so many unanswered questions about how COVID-19 will affect things. Use this link to refresh your knowledge of the report https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tmXQhn8yeQA

DO REMEMBER to SUBMIT CLAIMS REGULARLY and OFTEN!

For best office practices – remember to submit patient claims on a regular basis and often. Holding claims is not a good plan for your office as insurance companies have not (for the most part) explained their emergency procedures. This includes reviewing rejected and edit claims and resubmitting them quickly. Stay on top of all your billing and resubmits to get paid and keep getting paid!

New Medicare Insurance Numbers - 2018

We're sure you have heard about the upcoming change to Medicare Patient Insurance numbers. (If not, starting in April all of your Medicare patients will begin receiving new Medicare insurance cards with new Medicare numbers - they are finally retiring the social security number from the cards.)

Make sure you update your eTHOMAS to the most current version, then you will be prepared to go through and set up your THOMAS system - insurance and patient policies to take in and begin using the new Medicare cards.

Here is the "HOW TO" document to walk you through the process in your THOMAS system. 

New Medicare Insurance Numbers 2018

Be a Deductible Genius with eTHOMAS Cycle Statements

At the beginning of the year, when new annual client deductibles hit, catching and sending the large, patient transfer balances can be overwhelming. To help combat this deductible landslide, Genius has given you a secret weapon- the Cycle Statement (you must be on eTHOMAS version 9.5.24 to have this feature available).


How does this help? Most offices send out patient statements at the beginning of the month, then notice that they have transferred a lot more money to patient balances after those statements were sent. Now you can do "cycle statements" in the middle of the month. Cycle Statements will ONLY prepare for patients who have had new activity posted to their account since their last statement. This includes charges, payments, transfer balances, debits, and credits. This allows you to notify your patients of their updated balances sooner, without sending a duplicate statement to patients with no new activity. Using cycle statements can save your patients confusion and frustration while freeing up office time from you answering those duplicate questions.


Voilà you're now a deductible genius!

End of Year Care for THOMAS & 1st Friday call for December 2016

Some ideas for you before you post any charges for 2017:

• Complete all posting of payments and charges that you have received up until 12/31/2010. Do not post 2011 information until this is completed.
• Run all the reports your accountant wants for year end. Ask the CPA now if they have all the documentation they need BEFORE you post next year's stuff.
