Navigation:  Setup > Program Setup

1.To open Program Setup, go to Setup > Program Setup in the main menu window.

 

 

2.When you click on Program Setup, the following screen comes up

 

 

Processed Files

The first setting concerns the handling of EDI files after processing. In order to avoid the duplicate processing of EDI files, we recommend that you move files after processing into an archive folder so that they are not processed multiple times. When working with copies of files, you can choose to delete the copies after processing. Always ensure that the original files are saved in a secure location. EDI files are important business documents and you want to make sure that you can access them at a later point in time for trouble shooting, audits, and other reasons. Leave in Place means the file remains in its original location and is not moved or deleted after processing.

Note: If you use EDI Exchange, the Processed File folder is given by the folder schema of EDI Exchange where each trading partner has a place for their folders.

 

 

Response Files

The next item is Response Files :In the case that EDI Exchange is not used, the program needs a location where it writes outgoing response files.

Note: If EDI Exchange is initialized than it will put the file into the Outbox of the trading partner.

 

 

Log

The next item is the Log. The HIPAA Claim Status Responder keeps track of all the step of processing EDI files. When it is run through the command line, those messages will be saved in the log.

 

 

Note: Checking the above check box ensures that all process messages are written to the log file regardless whether the application is run through the command line or the user interface.

 

Update

The next item determines whether the application on start-up looks for the existence of updates and newer version. Some companies have a strict policy that all updates have to be thoroughly tested before they can be implemented and users should not be faced with an option of update the application. For this case, we have the below check mark:

Note: Set if you want to suppress update messages.

 

Document Color

The next item on the setup screen determines whether the back ground and labels on the printable form are in red to contrast them with the font color of black. When printing the forms to paper on a color printer you can save money and resources by choosing black. Otherwise it makes the forms much easier to read when you have background and labels in red.

 

 

Defaults

The last thing is Defaults :If you want to make your life easier when answering claim status requests, you can select one default value for your answer. For example you can choose A2: "Acknowledgement/Acceptance into adjudication system-The claim/encounter has been accepted into the adjudication system" as claim status category and 20:"Accepted for processing" as a claim status. Now when you click "Save" in the response form without filling in any values for status and status category, those values will be filled in.
