How to Set Up CCI Validation with CMS Pricer

Setup is done from the Practice Options page (see highlighted portion in Image 1). Our internal team will enable the CCI edit option for the accounts.

CCI Validation from Charge Master and Charge Entry

The workflow to run the claims validation rule from both the Charge Entry and Charge Master screens will remain the same. The only difference is that if claims validation with CMS Pricer is enabled for the practice, the system will validate claims using both the internal and CCI rules. CE and CM screens will show the errors from CMS Pricer, followed by internal validation errors. The same holds true for XSuperbill screen.

CCI Error Bucket in Claim Workbench

Practice Management System has a new bucket built in Claims Workbench to include all the encounters which has validation errors at the time of claim generation. This bucket is only available to the accounts that have CMS Pricer enabled.

Workflow

While generating the claims from Ready to Submit Bucket, when the user checks Run Claim Validation checkbox, a Claim Rule validation pop-up appears with Errors, Warnings, and Messages of the encounters submitted; see Image 2.
