FSC (19)

DICTIONARY NARRATIVE

Please mark whether this is an addition, edit, or deactivation to the FSC dictionary. If you are editing a FSC, only complete the fields that you are editing and the FSC mnemonic. If you are adding a new FSC, complete all required fields and any other field that might be needed to do correct billing. If you are deactivating a FSC, only complete the FSC mnemonic field. If you need to delete the information in the field, enter the word “delete” in the field.

1) FSC Description: Enter the name of the financial class or insurance carrier. The name you entered to the Add/Edit FSC prompt appears here as the default FSC description. This is a required, free-text field and must be unique. (Example: Health Partners)

2) FSC Number: This is a numeric code for the financial class. Whenever the system asks you to specify a FSC, you can enter either the FSC name, (the description or short name), or the unique FSC Number that you assign here. The FSC Number will be assigned by IS. This is a required field.

3) Send Statement? Enter one of the following: Y if you want invoices with balances in this FSC to appear on statements. N or leave blank if you do not want charges to appear on statements. For a charge to appear on a statement, you must enter Y here and the FSC must be associated with the Statement Form in the Forms Dictionary (#106). The system automatically makes this association when you add a new FSC, but not when you edit an existing FSC. If you change the answer to this question from N to Y, you must run the Statement Index Recreation Activity (F31/A6) to add accounts with balances in this FSC to the Statement Index. If you change the answer to this question from Y to N, you must edit the Statement Form in the Forms Dictionary (#106) and remove this FSC from the FSC list. Then the balance in the next statement will not include any previous balances for this FSC. You do not need to recreate the Statement Index. Statement Index Recreate is run monthly on WUX.

4) Claim Form Number: Enter a number that corresponds to a number in the Forms Dictionary (#106). For example: 51 = CP-COMMERCIAL PAPER, 49 = HE-HMO ELECTRONIC or 81= ME-MEDICARE. For a charge to appear on a claim form, the FSC must also be associated with the claim form in the Forms Dictionary (#106). Changes to this field are not recommended but can be done with proper planning.

5) FSC mnemonic: Enter the short name for the FSC using up to three alpha characters of free-text. Whenever the system asks you to specify a FSC, you can either enter the FSC Short Name, the FSC Description, or the FSC Number. This is a required field and the entry must be unique.

6) Certificate number required?: A N should be placed in this field when a certificate number is not asked in the fsc/plan follow up questions. The edit will exclude any of these fsc/plans from edits for the secondary and tertiary payers.

7) Enter 1 if Reg FSC or 0 if not permitted as a Reg FSC : Enter a 1 if this FSC will be entered to account Registrations. Example: 81-Medicare Enter a 0 if this is an invoice only FSC. Example: 5-Do Not Bill.

10) Force assignment when this FSC present? Use this feature with the Corresponding Assigned FSC field described above. For example, you can choose to force assignment for all of the patient’s FSCs if one of these FSCs is Welfare. Enter Y to convert any Non-Assigned FSC for a patient to the Corresponding Assigned FSC when entering charges or posting receipts, if the FSC is present in Registration. Enter N if you do not want to convert the Non-Assigned FSCs.

11) Corresponding registration FSC: Use this feature for printing insurance information on claims. If a FSC does not have any follow-up questions, the system uses the information in a Corresponding Registration FSC in the patient’s account when printing claims. For example, Medicare would be a Corresponding Registration FSC for Medicare Appeal. Do not change the entry in this field without consulting your system manager. Changing this entry could affect data previously filed with the old value.

13) Grouping Category: This feature prevents the entry of similar FSCs when registering patients. For example, 21-Blue Shield and 22-Out-Of-State Blue Shield are in the same Grouping Category, so a user cannot enter both of these FSCs in one patient’s account. This feature also enables printing of insurance information on claims. If a FSC does not have any follow-up questions and there is a no Corresponding Registration FSC (or the Corresponding Registration FSC does not have any follow-up information), then the system uses the follow-up questions from a FSC in the same Grouping Category, when printing claims. For example, the 21-Blue Shield, 23-Blue Shield Appeal, and 22-Out-Of-State Blue Shield FSCs are in the same Grouping Category. So each of these FSC’s print claim form detail from the Registration FSC, Corresponding Registration FSC or Grouping Category. If all three of these fields are empty, no follow-up data for the FSC will print on claim forms and likely the claim will go to the edit list for missing certificate number. Do not change the entry in this field without consulting your system manager. Changing this entry could affect data previously filed with the old value.

22) Group Restriction: Enter a group number or a sequence of group numbers separated by commas. Example: 3,4 . This feature lets you limit access and display of a FSC to one or more groups than Groups 4 and 7 have access to add or edit the new FSC. If you want to make a FSC accessible to all Groups, leave blank. If you want to deny access to all groups, enter a number that does not correspond to any group on your system (99). If you enter a group restriction for an existing FSC, the restriction becomes effective from that point. The new entry does not affect existing charges.

23) Keep cert index for this FSC? Enter Y to create an index of patient certificate numbers. Enter N if you do not want to create an index of patient certificate numbers. Keeping a certificate number index for a FSC is another way to identify a patient. When the system prompts you for a patient name, you can enter W followed by a certificate number. This causes the system to display all patients who have that certificate number.

The system keeps this index only from the date on which you answer Y to this question. That is, the system does not implement a retroactive index. If you did not choose this option when you first added this FSC to the FSC Dictionary (#19) and you want a retroactive index, you must contact I.S. to have the IMS Recreate Certificate Number Index Activity run.

26-1) Reporting Category #1 (#2 and #3):

27-2) Enter the name of the Reporting Category to which you want this FSC to belong. Your answer must be a valid entry in the Reporting Categories Dictionary (#77).

28-3) For example: SELF PAY.

You can create categories (MANAGED CARE-FEE SCHEDULE, APPEAL, PPO, etc.) of FSCs in order to consolidate data on the following reports:

• Aged Trial Balance Summary (ATBS)

• Collection Analysis

• Ratio Analysis Aging

• Month-To-Date Transaction Summary

The Month-To-Date Transaction Summary can not be consolidated by FSC. The prompt repeats three times to allow you to define three different ways to accommodate information. This change affects the next printing of the compiled monthly reports and is immediately available for DBMS queries.

Reporting Category #1: used by Finance. The finance office uses the MGMA definitions.

Reporting Category #2: the Operational areas reporting of different Management areas, HMO, PPO,Medicare, etc.

Reporting Category #3: the payor type used for the Payor Mix report.

29) Sort value for this FSC if relationship is self: Enter a number between 1 and 100,000. The sort value you specify here determines this FSC’s position in the FSC hierarchy for a patient. The first sort value you can assign is 1, the last sort value is 100,000. The FSC priority number that appears in the FSC Table, during registration and other activities, is based upon the FSC’s sort value. In registration, users can change priority numbers only for FSC’s that have equal sort values.

You can assign two sort values to a FSC. A value that is active when the patient is the subscriber, and a second value that is active when the patient is not the subscriber. If you change the sort value for an existing FSC, it does not affect any previously registered patients. However, the next time you file the insurance’s for these accounts, the system resorts the FSCs, based on the changed value.

30) Sort value for this FSC if relationship is not self: Enter a number between 1 and 100,000.

See the Sort value for this FSC if relationship is self prompt, described previously, for more information.

31) Enter 1 to use effective dates for this FSC: Enter 1 or leave blank. If you enter 1 here, the system compares a patient’s effective and expiration dates to the service dates for this FSC when you enter charges or post receipts. This feature provides a safeguard against entering charges for expired FSCs. When you activate this feature for an existing FSC, it affects only new transactions. To use this feature you must ask the effective and termination dates as follow-up questions for this FSC. If you enter an effective date during registration that expires existing charges, you must manually edit the affected invoices.

If you enable effective date checking for a FSC, you must also set up that FSC’s follow-up questions to prompt for effective and termination dates

36) Fee schedule hierarchy (numbers separated by commas): Enter numbers separated by commas. Specify the fee schedule hierarchy for this FSC. The fee schedule hierarchy is a list of fee schedule numbers that tells the system which fee schedules to search for pricing information, and in what order to search them. If the system encounters an invoice with this FSC and it does not find a fee schedule hierarchy in the Group Profile Dictionary (#200), it will search the fee schedules specified here, in this specified order, until it finds pricing information for the procedures in the invoice.

37) Account Status: Enter a valid entry from the Account Statuses Dictionary (#196). The system will look at this field to determine whether the account status should be assigned to the patient account based upon the presence of this FSC in registration. WUX uses this for employer cases.
