An error that occurred when adding a new Employer/School while leaving the Contact Category blank has been corrected.

Corrected an issue in which the Client Listing was set to 'read only' if no active clients existed for a specific location.

A bug introduced in release R639 caused only the full Cancellation Reason descriptions to be shown in the drop-down list when cancelling an appointment and not the short codes, which appeared as blanks in the list if not entered. This has been corrected.

"Cancelled" has been renamed to "Client Cancelled" (as opposed to "Therapist Cancelled") for greater clarity.

The new Waiting List texts and emails will now include the name of the Provider with whom the proposed appointment is booked.

A bug introduced in release R639 prevented the reversal of multiple payments at one time - this has been corrected.

The new transferring payments between Clients/Incidents function did NOT reflect in the Client Header (eg; payments transferred did not alter the balances in both the sending and receiving Clients' headers) - this has been corrected.

The new Enhanced Activities by Service view option, introduced in release R639, was set up as a Global option. It has now been changed to a user-based option.

The Assessment Date and Next Eval Due Date options for being included on the Missing Fields report, based on Division, have been moved into the Statistics tab from the Incident tab on the report setup panel under each Division.

A bug in which all notes selected for printing exceeded 8192 characters in length resulted in an error - has been corrected.

In a recent release, the ability to print legacy credentialing and Provider information was added to Daily Note & Document printing, In other words, if a Provider changed their name or licensing information, notes/documents/invoices prior to the change would retain the old information. This now also applies to a change in signature, as well.

• Add a new option has been added under Payors, EDI Preferences entitled Send both Referring Provider and Ordering Provider.
• Fixed a recently introduced issue that wrongly included the Billing Location in EDI Loop 2010AA even it was set to include the Service Location.

Fixed a recently-introduced bug that does not show the Primary Provider in Box 31 of the HCFA form even though the Box 31 option is set to include the Managing/Billing Provider.

Recently, the Ontario Ministry of Health announced that a Referring Provider is no longer required for most claims BUT the Manual Review indicator must be set to YES for each claim in the MOH submission file.

A new field, entitled Manual Review Required, has been added to the Billing Rules tab for each client - if ticked, it will now be indicated in the MOH submission file.

Please note that this new tick-box field will only appear if a) a Health Card # has been entered and b) the client's Province is Ontario.
