What's New at IMA

 

 

New Modules available for the IMA system 

  • OASAS Buprenorphine
  • Medicaid UT tracking for Medical programs tracking authorizations, visits used, and if a TOA has been sent.  
  • NYC Medicaid transportation billing for agencies that send transportation claims to Medicaid and Medicaid reimburses the patient directly. 

New Receivables report

The report is located in Billing and Finance/Coverage and Revenue/Revenue and is called Forecasted Receivables.  This report gives you another tool for reviewing your receivables.  The report looks at the receivables in three categories: Billed, Unbilled and Denied.  You can create a printout or generate a CSV for excel.  The report should already be on your system, if it isn't or if you have any questions please contact the helpdesk.   

 

Client Reminder texting Module

IMA can now create a CSV with information that can be sent to a third party product that will allow you to send text messages to designated clients reminding them of future appointments. For more information please contact the helpdesk.  

 

HCBS Waiver enhancements

The billing algorithm in the HCBS Waiver module has been updated to account for numerous unusual billing scenarios when clients have a mix of start-up, inpatient, and regular service days in a month.   

 

Webinar Information

Changes to Complex Care billing

Starting 7/1 the time required to bill for one unit of services is changing from 15 minutes to 5 minutes.  At this time the only billable service is for three units.  To accommodate this in IMA you need to create a new activity code.  Copy the current code that you use for Complex Care and make the following changes:

 

On the Statistics tab

  • Change the Minimum duration to 15 minutes
  • Change the Default duration to 15 minutes
  • Change the maximum duration based on your agencies policy

On the Billing tab

  • The Unit Source must be Fixed
  • The Unit must be 3
  • Set the Complex Care button to Yes (at this time there is no effect but in the future there might be) 

 

Please contact the helpdesk@imasys.com if you have any questions.
