TCMS Version 4.8.1 – What’s New, What’s Fixed, etc

(RE-POST FROM AUGUST 2012)

Collection Module error with Documents is fixed.
Some TCMS users were receiving an “EOF error” under certain conditions while printing Bulk Documents from within the Collection Module. This will no longer happen


Duplicate check number posting errors are now prevented
If two checks containing the same check number were posted, there was a possibility the funds would be drawn from the wrong check, causing a “negative” amount posted from the check.

A database trigger has now been enabled to ensure that this no longer occurs.

New notation added to the Daily Transaction report
Due to the nature of the Daily Transaction Report not showing inactive locations, or the user running the report not having user rights to a given location, we have added a notation at the bottom of the report to reflect the data that is used to generate the report.
The notation reads: “This report does not generate data from transactions performed in inactive locations.
This report will also not display data from transactions performed in locations for which that user does not have rights”.

Institutional Billing now available through TCMS’s Emdeon Claim Center
TCMS now offers Institutional Billing through the Emdeon Clearinghouse.

To accomplish this, place a checkmark on the new option in Practice Defaults Setup screen labeled “Send Institutional Claims to Emdeon”. Then, while creating the EMC file, select the “Institutional” option.

ERx files now save correctly to the intended (temp) folder
ERx files were inadvertently downloaded to the user’s desktop instead of a temp folder. This has been corrected.

A field in the Worker’s Comp HP1 for now populates appropriately
The Workers Comp HP1 form was not populating the “County” fields in all cases. This has now been corrected.

Printed HCFA/CMS-1500 forms will generate all modifiers
CPT/Claims that contained four modifiers were not generating all of the modifiers consistently.
The modifiers on the CMS-1500 form will now fill all the boxes when there are 4 modifiers for a given CPT.

Daily Transaction report with Custom Fields is now optimized
There was an issue with the Daily Transaction report in which the use of Custom Fields would cause the report to slow down. The database elements are now optimized for use with custom fields.

Workflow Queue error addressed
The Workflow Queue had an issue with the List View under some conditions in which it would not display the document, but rather generate and error,
“Archive does not exist”. This problem has now been addressed.

HCFA/CMS-1500 error addressed
Printing a HCFA/CMS-1500 was sometimes generating an error, stating “Error in Execute: 998 Failed to Retrieve Error Message from Print Engine.”
This was related to 5010 requirement changes. A database change has been put in place to ensure the error will no longer display.
