Advanced Filters
When defining
advanced filters, you can specify more complicated filter criteria. Choose
from one of the following:
Column
values
You
can choose from all the column headings in your CDM file, and define specific
values and operators as criteria.
For example,
if you wanted to see all charge items that had a volume value greater
than 0 then you would define:
Volume >
“0”
If you wanted
to see all charge items with zero usage then you would define:
Volume = “0”
Column names
are specific to your facility. There may not be a column of this name
in your facility.
Track
Changes
This allows you to view all charge items that
have changes that are either are still pending, or that have been accepted.
For more information about change tracking.
Audit
Element
When an action
is performed on a charge item, an element is added to the audit trail.
Use this filter to display charge items that have undergone particular
actions (deactivated, included, modified etc.).
For some actions, you can define additional
criteria (for example, if you choose “included”, then you can specify
which tab it was included from). You can also specify which user performed
the action, and when it was performed.
Memo
Memos can be attached to charge items. Use this
filter when you want to show only charge items that either have or don’t
have memos attached to them. You can also specify more specific criteria
such as memo author, date range, or words that the memo must contain.
Department
(GL Type)
For example, you could specify that only charge
items with a GL Type of “Chemo” are to be displayed.
Category
Assigned
Show only charge items that are in a particular
category (see Category Manager
for details of how to define and apply categories to charge items). A
charge item can only ever have one “current” category, but filtering on
a category will match all charge items that have ever been assigned that
category.
Intent
of Service Issue
Identify charges with an Intent of service issue.
You may want to export or print these charge items at the beginning of
a review.
Dental
Status
The Dental Status is specified when 4 digit
overlapping codes are used. These can be displayed with this filter.
Additional
Charge Items
Use this filter
to show all charge items that have been added to the file, through any
of the following:
- Best Practice
- Links
- Duplicates
- Module Added Items
(To filter on a specific additional item, use
the Audit Element filter.)
HCPCS/CPT
Status Indicator
Identify charge items with a specific Status
Indicator (a charge’s HCPCS/CPT information is displayed on the Active
Info window).
Column
Size
Identify Charge Descriptions with more characters
than a specified size. This is of particular use where the live billing
system restricts the number of allowable characters in a description.
Implementation
Errors
Identify charges which have associated unresolved
Implementation Errors. See Implementation
Errors for
further details.
External
Changes
Identify charges
which have not been modified in the live Chargemaster but not through
the Chargemaster Toolkit.
