The Aloha team is excited to announce the following new features/enhancements added to Aloha ABA.
Improvements:
Authorization Summary Report Cancellation Column Improvement
The cancellation column formula shows the appointment duration of all cancelled appointments instead of the billing minutes.
RBT Supervision Log and BCAT Supervision Log Report Improvements
The reports will now show the names of staff that have an active qualification in the month selected in parameters.
The reports will not include hours in the Analytic Hours reports if the appointment is before the staff’s qualification start date.
Availity NPI ID for Nevada Medicaid
Added in the NPI ID into LOOP 2310B in the 837P file for Nevada Medicaid.
Payer Services Report – Expiration date column
Added a new column in the Payer Services report to display the Expiration Date of a service.
New Report – Quick Books Invoice
New report for Quick Books which shows a billing summary report designed to be uploaded into Quick Books online directly.
Clinical Integrations – Allow users to delete duplicate appointments for clinical integrations.
In Settings->Clinical Integrations > Appointments, users can now delete multiple appointments by searching for appointments in the deleted time frame and clicking the trashcan icon in the top right.
Post Payments Performance Improvement
Improved performance when transferring in the post payment screen. Improved performance to prevent deadlocks in the post payment screen. LA Care Verification Form
A new verification Form named LA Care verification is available under Billing > Verification Forms. "Requeue" button now available in Billing > Billed Files. Allows users to re-send a previously billed claim through the clearinghouse without having to release/rebill in Aloha.
Note: Only use this when claims haven't appeared in the Payer Portal. This is an alternative to Releasing claims in AR Manager and Rebilling them through the Billing Manager. If used incorrectly, you may send a duplicate claim submission.
