Axxess Hospice now enables users to set payers to automatically capture status code 20 in UB-04 form locator 17 when required at the time of death. By automating a previously manual process, this enhancement streamlines billing operations and reduces manual entry errors.
To indicate that a primary, secondary or tertiary payer requires status 20 on UB-04 claim forms, navigate to the Billing Information tab in the desired payer’s setup. In the Payer Settings section, select Payer Requires Status Code and click Save.
➜ Insurance/Payers ➜ Edit ➜ Billing Information tab ➜ Payer Settings ➜ Payer Requires Status Code 20 ➜ Save
When Payer Requires Status Code 20 is selected and the claim is generated, the solution will automatically populate code 20 Expired in the Patient Status Code field when the patient is discharged due to death.
To indicate that a room and board payer requires status code 20, navigate to the Billing Information tab in the desired payer’s setup. In the Room and Board Settings section, select Payer Requires Status Code and click Save.
➜ Insurance/Payers ➜ Edit ➜ Billing Information tab ➜ Room and Board Settings ➜ Payer Requires Status Code 20 ➜ Save
When Payer Requires Status Code 20 is selected for room and board payers and the claim is generated, the solution will automatically populate code 20 Expired in the Patient Status Code field when the patient is discharged due to death.
When both Payer Requires Combined Claim Form and Payer Requires Status Code 20 are selected in the Room and Board Settings section and the combined claim is generated, the solution will automatically populate code 20 Expired in the Patient Status Code field when the patient is discharged due to death.
