| Hi-Two: Hi-Tech Helps with Disaster Recovery |  For disasters that you cannot avoid, you need an excellent recovery plan. If you experience an event that damages your Hi-Tech programs and data, recovery will be much easier if you have recent backup copies of your system. Reliable backup procedures are critical to the integrity of your facility's electronic records.
Hi-Tech's Backup and Recovery Service helps to protect your Hi-Tech clinical and financial data from the effects of natural disasters and hardware failures that can cost hours, even days, of downtime. With the cloud-backup option, Hi-Tech staff will monitor the status of your backup every day and assist you with file restoration in the event of corruption or loss of any Hi-Tech data. We can schedule automated daily, weekly and monthly backups of your Hi-Tech data to a cloud server or local device, eliminating your need to manage your backups on site.
Ensure your peace of mind. Call Lynne Hammond at (207) 474-7122 to talk about adding this valuable and necessary service to your system.

Hi-Three: When Medicare C Pays for Therapy Charges

 The Hi-Tech Resident Accounting System creates Medicare C claims for therapy time recorded through the Hi-Tech Rehab Therapy application and Therapy Charges Interface.
To ensure that the Medicare C payer is chosen when you Create Rehab Charges, verify the correct setup in the resident's insurance profile through Edit Medical Record > Insurance. The screen on the right illustrates a Medicaid resident with a Blue Cross Medicare C plan, listed second.
Contact Hi-Tech Support if you need clarification or assistance in this process.

Through Payroll > Reporting > History > Hours/Pay, you can print a report that provides an average of the hours and pay by employee for the selected date range.
