Version 2.0.25 (9/20/2004) - View All Updates

Features
Maximum units of service added for the electronic receiver record. This can be used if your clearninghouse has a quantity limit. For example, WebMD allows a maximum quantity of 99. Entering 99 in this field would split charges with a quantity over 99 into multiple charges. No change is made to the claim, rather when the electronic batch is created, the program will split the charge increments of the maximum quantity. A quantity of 150 would be split into two charges (a quantity of 99 and another quantity of 51).
Patient type can now be removed from the patient record.
Default facility location added to the Utilities...Options...Admission tab.
Other Coverage Code added to the 30-1 form.
Data Views added. Data views are custom views of your data. These views are created by reading a .TXT file in the \Data Views folder in the Ascend-HI shared folder. Each text file needs to contain a SQL statement that will query the Ascend-HI database. These data views can be exported in CSV files and opened in other programs (Excel, Access, etc,.). If you are familiar with writing SQL statements, this can be a powerful tool of getting additional information out of your database.

Fixes
Storage note default now loads from the inventory record.
When entered a new order and minimizing the new order screen and selecting a new patient, the program would display the new order to the wrong patient's profile. The order was actually added to the correct patient but incorrectly showed on the wrong profile until the profile was refreshed.
Error 53 during the update process if no Last Update.EXE file existed in the Ascend-HI\Update directory.
