Redesigned Message Center with search features.
Archiving a file on File Manager is instant and no longer prompted. Unarchiving is also available on archived file areas.
Reverted to old logic of defaulting Billing Provider Tax ID for Rendering Provider segments where the Tax ID is not on file. Too many payers rely on these fields having something filled in regardless of the accuracy.
Added Illinois Medicaid receiver.

2.2.14 - 10/8/04
Improvements for data entry users so filling out a claim is as easy as selecting a payer, patient, and filling in the service lines:
   - the keypad Enter key can be used to move from field to field
   - tabbing off a blank modifier skips the remaining modifier fields
   - Box 13 of the HCFA-1500 is now populated by the patient insurance 'accept assignment' checkbox, box 27 is populated by patient's
assignment checkbox, and box 12 by the patient's release of information checkbox and new signature date field. If the signature date field is
blank today's date will be used.

Fixed bug with sending minutes instead of units for CPT 0016T

Added UPIN search on the bottom of UB92 forms.

2.2.11 - 9/21/04
HCFA-1500 and UB-92 print image fixes for those printing paper claims from SolAce (dollar amounts, diagnosis codes, dates, box 23).

Added Mailbox / Provider Codes feature to allow multiple Noridian mailboxes to be combined to one BG (Billing Group) mailbox.
Adjusting the margins of HCFA-1500 and UB-92 printing is now an option, but has to be handled as a case-by-case support item.

2.2.9 - 9/9/04
Fixed rendering name issue that sent the name from the provider list instead of box 31 when the PIN in box 24k resolved to the provider list. Box 31 now overrides the provider list for the rendering provider name in all situations.

Added a web transmit script (our first) for MCSI as an alternative to dial-up. For now you have to visit Setup/Receivers and change the Link Type to Web to utilize this script. It submits by simulating a web browser on MCSI's web site. The dial-up script is still the default for everyone.

Changed MCSI's rate for paper claims from .33 to .35 as they are changing the print-and-mail service price effective 9/1/04
Put a new ZModem module in place to solve transmission problems with BCBS NC/OK/MS, and Trispan. The old ZModem is still the default for most payers, and will be phased out as we test further. The ZModem module is selectable via Setup/Receivers.

Fixed problem with CLIA number saving in the Patient Editor screen

2.2.2
Changed UGS Medicare Part A settings for dummy Tax IDs
A change in 2.2.0 to support secondary payer claims caused a behavior change from prior versions due to a new relationship to insured field for the secondary payer. This update keeps the new relationship field, but defaults it to the primary's relationship to insured field. This may be incorrect for claims with multiple insured's, but keeps the behavior consistent with prior versions that had only one field corresponding to the HCFA-1500 form. Users who want to do secondary claims should print and map the Other Insured's ID and relationship to insured code on their HCFA form to submit accurate information in the 837P transaction. An FAQ should be out shortly to cover how to do secondary claims in detail.
Changed setting for NV Medicaid (FHSC) to not require referring physician UPINs

Changes to SolAce EMC starting with version 2.2.0 will be listed on this page. In prior versions the changes were listed whenever you did a Web Check, but that list was not always accurate for people upgrading across several revisions. For example, the list of changes for 2.2.0 is only completely accurate for users upgrading from 2.1.38. Users upgrading from 2.1.36 to 2.2.0 did not see the 2.1.36 to 2.1.38 changes via Web Check. This page will be a continuous history so you can see everything in one spot.
