Payments - EOB Image

Top  Previous  Next

The Bulk Payment EOB Image screen presents the contents of a Bulk EOB image and a series of controls and buttons that allow you to control and manipulate the image.  In a Windows environment, the window or form with "the focus" is the window where keystrokes are directed.  This form is generally the "front" or top-most form on your desktop.

 

When using Bulk EOB Workflow, you will be dealing with two windows; one with the image of the Bulk EOB and the other is Bulk Payment Entry.  You will need to control the image window without "changing" windows or clicking on the image.  The "P" on the Print button of the EOB Image window below is underlined, so you would expect that Alt-P will "click" the Print button.  You would be correct if the EOB Image window below has the focus.  However, you are keying a new Bulk Payment; therefore, the New Bulk Payment window has the focus and the Alt-P will do whatever (if anything) Alt-P does in New Bulk Payment.

 

This problem is resolved by a series of keystrokes that allow you to manipulate the image from a data window without losing focus in the data window.  You can rotate the image, zoom in or out, or pan left, right, up, or down without leaving the data input window.

Annotation Area

 

This area will display a text box along with any special controls that were selected in the Imaging Type setup.  The text and selection boxes entered here are saved with the image.  Several of the annotation fields are mutually exclusive.  Charge Tickets don't have remit dates and Demographics don't have procedure codes.  Although all of the available annotation fields will never be displayed on a single Imaging Type, they will all be documented here.

 

You will notice that the field "groups" are highlighted with purple text.  This indicates that those group boxes may be "jumped-to" during data input.  F4 will jump forward to the next purple field, and F5 will jump backward to the previous purple.
