Patient Billing Inquiry


This screen will show you everything you need related to billing. From the Main Menu in Barnestorm Office click on Billing (or Accounts Receivable) > Inquiry > Patient Billing Inquiry. When you select a patient, by name or chart, the patient's demographics appear at the top. This includes the payers, admit date and status (active or discharged).

485s
When you click on the 485s tab a list of episodes will appear. This is handy for patients who have multiple episodes.

Only the dates for that 485 episode will appear when you click on the Visits and Supplies tab.

OASIS
The OASIS tab will show you all the OASIS Reason for Assessment, HIPPS code, Lock Date and Status.

PPS Compare
This will give you a list of all OASIS entered (on and after 1/1/2008). This gives you a quick look at the details of the PPS episode. The from and thru dates are the episode dates. The first HIPPA code shown is what appeared on the RAP, or the Amount Billed in A/R. The MO826 is the answer on the OASIS for that episode. The TherVx is the actual number of visits done. Tot Vx is the total number of visits completed. The second HIPPX code is the code after the episode was calculated for Therapy, Supplies, LUPA, etc… The $Amount column is the value that goes with the HIPPA codes column. $Expected shows the amount that Barnestorm has calculated should be paid after allowing for Therapy, Supplies, LUPA adjustments. $Diff shows the difference between $Amount and $Expected.The $Paid column only shows an amount when the episode is paid in full. It reflects what was actually paid. The $SupChrg column shows the charge amount for supplies.

UPDATE: 3/25/2021 Added new grid to screens in wide screen; added Date Billed on the Amount Billed > Comments line; added a note when charges disagree with amount billed. When only RAP Billed then the date billed does not show up in comments because it is the actual Amount Billed date. If billed multiple times in a month then all billed dates show up in comments. Actual billed date will not show up if the claim has not been created yet.
