NOTE: Not all features are immediately available to all agency users. You should always go to Admin Settings and update the permissions for your agency users at the time of a new feature release, if required for that feature.

Currently in CareSmartz360 system, if the "Type" of Payer is Medicaid or Insurance, then CareSmartz360 generates an 837P EDI file for that Payer. If the type of Payer is Veterans Affairs, then CareSmartz360 generates an 837I EDI file.

We received the feedback from multiple customers that there are VA Payers which may require the 837P rather than the 837I. Hence, to resolve the request, there will be a new field labeled "Claim Type" in the Payer profile where the agency will be able to configure the type of EDI export file which that payer requires.

Note: When this feature will be rolled-out, all the existing payers having Medicaid or Insurance as payer type will have 837P, while Veterans Affairs Payers will have 837I already selected.

Currently in CareSmartz360, to view the icons in the Action column in the system grid, you have to hover the mouse pointer over that column to view the available operations.

Now, as per our UI/UX improvements, these icons will be visible all the time and will not require you to to hover the mouse pointer on the action column to view the icons.

You will now be able to select which agency/admin user(s) should receive Email/SMS Notifications when a caregiver clocks in late.

8. Compatibility Type Filter introduced on Find Caregiver screen

On the 'Find Caregiver' screen, to find eligible Caregivers to fill in open shift(s) more efficiently, you will be able to filter your Caregivers based on their compatibility type configured within the Client profile.

Additionally, the Compatibility Type value will be added in the Find Caregiver results grid as well.

You will have the ability to filter on the basis of territory in the Global Communication Logs. Also, you will be able to see the in the grid which territory the client belongs to.

Along with the filter, you can sort on any of the grid columns.

Under Client → Master Schedule tab, you will have the ability to see the total hours that have been planned under each plan type separately with or without caregivers being assigned.

CS360 will prompt you to perform a 'sync payer' action every time a configuration is added or updated by any user. This reminds you to sync the payer so that updated settings get applied to existing schedules as well for the ones that are not billed. This setting will not impact any schedule that is already billed.

Once you click "YES," the system will sync the payer and a confirmation message will appear once complete.

As soon as any client authorization is added or updated in the system under Clients → Rates tab, you will see a message at the top of the pop-up reminding you to click on the update button on the master screen after saving or updating the Authorization. You will be taken to the "UPDATE" button as soon as the pop-up closes after saving the authorization.

You will again see the authorization strip on a client's calendar based on the payer's billing week selected under Payers → Billing → Billing start-day dropdown. Earlier this ability was removed with the Pro-rate feature removal but based on customer feedback, the feature to split the authorization strip will return.

Please Note: Pro-rating on Authorization hours will still be disabled. Ability to split the Authorization week based on the payer's billing week is brought back into the system.

e.g. Client Authorization Start Date: 15th Oct (Thursday) from End Date 31st Dec (Thursday) and the Authorized Hours are 40 Hours per week.

Currently, system will formalize the Authorization week as 15th - 21st Oct and then 22nd - 28th Oct for 40 Hours per week.

Now, after this release, if the Payer's Billing Start Day is Monday, then following will be the strip split:

15th Oct - 18th Oct (Sunday) for 40 Hours.

19th Oct (Monday) - 25th Oct (Sunday) for 40 Hours.
