Greetings!

The days are
getting longer!

We hope you are enjoying the increasing seconds and minutes of daylight.

We also hope that you enjoy these five features that make your job easier.

Hi-One: Hi-Tech Posts 2015 Medicare B Fee Schedule

Hi-Tech has posted the Medicare B Fee Schedule that became effective on January 1, 2015.

We have notified the Hi-Tech Update Contact at your facility to download the schedule. Before it is downloaded, your Hi-Tech System must be at Release 14.12. Recent Patches should also be downloaded. The Update Contact can provide the Update Memo to Resident Accounting users.

This update changes the Medicare B Limitation amounts for PT-ST and OT to $1940.00.

Hi-Two: Dual Code with ICD-9 and ICD-10

In Edit Medical Record > Physician/Diagnosis, you can select both ICD-9 and ICD-10 codes to identify a resident's diagnoses. This feature allows you to practice ICD-10 coding and prepares you for the transition on October 1, 2015.

Find details on Hi-Tech ICD coding features in the document: ICD-10 Functionality within the Hi-Tech System.

Hi-Three: Have you Updated your General Ledger Budget for 2015?

Rather than key in your budget for 2015, you can:

Export an existing budget from the General Ledger System to an Excel spreadsheet.
Forward this spreadsheet to department supervisors so they can update their budgets for the new year.
Upload individual departmental budgets into the General Ledger.

Complete this process at any time without overwriting the current budget.

Find the instructions for this process in the General Ledger User's Instructions. From the Hi-Tech menu, select General Ledger and click User Manual on the left side of the screen. When the document opens, look for Chapter 5. Budgeting > Budget Files, or go directly to Page 71.

Hi-Four: Release 15.03 to Allow Printing of Most Recent Inoculations

When you print the Inoculation Report you will be able to select Most Recent Only to print the most recent records for each type of inoculation.

Release 15.03 will be posted to our website in March, 2015.
