Release Summary Oct/Nov 2023 - 2.4 and 2.5
The Aloha team is excited to announce the following new features/enhancements added to Aloha ABA.
Improvements:
Dashboard:
A toggle has been added to the “Scheduled vs Completed” widget to change the view of the units by number of hours or by number of appointments.
Billing Summary and Aging Report widget calculations are based on payer contract rates, rather than charge rates.
New Reports:
Authorization Summary by Month - A report to see how many units were used each month per service. Users can search by payers to see all authorizations for that payer and a breakdown of auth totals, how much are used a month, and how many remain.
Client Service Summary Report- A report to compare direct versus supervision services and cancellation percentages. This was designed specifically for use with payer “LA Care”
Payroll Simplicity HR – A report formatted to upload payroll data into this payroll processor.
Payroll ADP WFN Next Gen – A report formatted to upload payroll data into this payroll processor.
The same NPI number can now be used in both the Rendering Provider and Referring Provider sections. The system will display a warning message if the same NPI is used twice, and you can proceed to save it.
When a staff is marked inactive, that user no longer has login access to Aloha effective immediately. Staff will also be listed in the inactive section on Staff List.
Under Payer > Billing Rules, the default is “Allowed”. This means concurrent billing is allowed by default. Users can change this to “not allowed” to add in their payer’s concurrent billing rules.
In Forms, the default value “Staff Credential” will now pull a staff member’s credential in this field even if they do not have an assigned NPI number under Billing > Provider Identifier. Credentials can be added in Provider Identifier for use in Forms.
In Payroll > Payroll Submission, admin can submit timesheets on behalf of their staff and select the date of submission.
In AR Manager, the expected amount is calculated based off of the payer contract amount and not the charge rate.
In Billing > Generate Invoice > Client, a new invoice format for “Super Bill” has been added. This can be used to generate superbills per client for submission to payers to get reimbursed. Instructions for generating invoices can be found here.
Bug Fixes:
Mobile view on Aloha – “Submit” button is correctly displayed when adding a Form to an appointment.
Payment ledger report – Payment Reconciled column displays a Yes or No based on whether or not the “Payment Reconciled” checkbox is selected on the payment.
- Availity Clearing House Rejection Issues
- Claim Fix
- Timeline view on Calendar (coming soon!)
- Two-factor Authentication
