How the Archive Button Works


From Barnestorm Office > Billing > HIPAA Transactions > Edit HIPAA Payers screen you can select a designated folder for each payer code. The transaction files related to the payer will be placed in that folder -- Transmit Folder. You can create different folders for certain payers or just use the same folder for everything. When the Archive function is invoked, it uses the currently selected top-level folder, which comes from the most recently used billing payer, and checks to see if the archive folders exist:

o 27X - files names that end with .270 (eligibility verification request), .271 (eligibility verification response), and .277 (pending claims)
o 835 - Medicaid electronic remittance advice
o 997 - response to claims transmitted
o Archive - 837, RAP, EOE
o ERN - Medicare electronic remittance advice
o Other
o RSP - Medicare (PGBA) response to claims transmitted - this one is actually readable with notepad

The Archive function is available on the Accounts Receivable > Post Electronic Payments screen. The most flexible one is at Billing > HIPAA Transactions > Archive FilesIt finds all the different folders in use by any payer, and shows them in a listbox to be selected from. When selected, it shows files counts of the number of files to be archived by type using the cutoff date on the screen.
