TCMS VERSION 4.8.9.6 was released earlier this week and is now available...

When adding a new insurance carrier in the Insurance Carrier Setup screen, the box labeled "Use ICD-10 Code" will now be "checked" by default.
An updated ICD-10 master list is now available and can be uploaded from the new "Update ICD10 Master" Setup screen. Once the Master List is updated, the Diagnosis Setup screen provides the option to access the Master List and allows for code updating from it.
The Document Queue's drop-down labeling order now displays in the order selected in the Document Queue Setup screen.
Reason code PR45 will no longer be identified as a non-allowed amount while importing and posting an ERN file.
The detailed Daily Transaction report will display ICD-9 and ICD-10 diagnosis codes based on the ICD-10 flag in Setup.
The process for closing a month was slowed in the previous version due to a scripting issue that is now resolved.
In the previous version, after converting to ICD-10 diagnosis coding, some of the (now defunct) ICD-9 codes that were selected as preferred diagnosis codes would still remain selected in the background of the software. This would cause some ICD-10 codes to become unavailable. This problem is now resolved.
The Export Detail feature, available in the Bulk Claims Write-off wizard screen, was not reflecting ICD-10 codes. The feature will now reflect all diagnosis codes as they are within the service (either ICD-9 or ICD-10).

The patient credit balance report was sporadically failing to print in the previous version. This problem is now resolved.
In the scenario where a referring doctor is not required, but one is selected on an appointment, the selected referring doctor will carry over through the whole process from the appointment to the electronic superbill and superbill queue, until the service is generated.
A newly required Worker's Compensation form number C4.0 (10-15) is now available.
The documents in the Queues Setup screen and the "Move to" queue screen will now list the documents in alphabetical order.

The batch report was not reflecting ICD-10 codes. The report will now reflect all diagnosis codes as they are within the service (either ICD-9 or ICD-10).

While writing a claim, the services that are automatically generated through the explosion code feature were limited to four diagnosis codes. Now, in this version, the explosion codes will generate up to 12 diagnosis codes when they are available.

The audit log for a specific service was not reflecting ICD-10 codes. The log will now reflect either ICD-9 or ICD-10 as applicable.

The Export Claim Information feature was not reflecting ICD-10 codes and was still limited to four diagnosis codes. The Claim Export will now reflect all diagnosis codes as they are within the service (either ICD-9 or ICD-10) and will also reflect all diagnosis codes, up to 12 when they are available.
A problem that was causing an occasional SSL error message while creating a claim file or while checking a patient's eligibility is now resolved in this version.

The procedure code (CPT code) column in the Aging report was cutting the first digit. This problem is now resolved in this version.

Worker's Comp forms were generating a 998 error while printing due to diagnosis code descriptions that were longer than the 120 character limit. This problem is now resolved in this version.

A potential mismatch within the unsent flags feature between a claim's flag and the claim file, which would have caused a problem recognizing what was sent or unsent, was discovered and corrected in this version.

Printing bulk secondary HCFA's was generating a syntax (998) error. This problem is now resolved in this version.
The Aging report was not reflecting ICD-10 codes. The report will now reflect all diagnosis codes as they are within the service (either ICD-9 or ICD-10).

Printing the ledger history on a specific service was not reflecting ICD-10 codes. The history will now reflect all diagnosis codes as they are within the service (either ICD-9 or ICD-10).

Creating an e-track was generating a 404 (file/directory not found) error. This problem is now resolved in this version.
