1.4.8 Correcting Billing Errors

MACHINE READABLE ERROR REPORTS

The Machine Readable Error Reports will arrive about a week after a disk goes in to the MOH. These are errors that the OHIP computer rejects because it does not meet certain criteria. It is as if these bills have never been received by OHIP. For this reason, it is important to correct the errors and re-submit to OHIP for payment.

What to do with the ‘Machine Readable Error Report’: - Correct the billing errors & re-submit (‘Correcting a Billing Encounter’) - Call patients to correct Version Codes & re-submit the outstanding encounters

CORRECTING VERSION CODE ERRORS

From the Appointment Screen

1. Click on the ‘SEARCH TAB’
2. Type in the patient’s name & (enter)
3. Click on the patient’s demographic number to pull up their ‘PATIENT’S DETAIL RECORD’
4. Call the patient to get the new version code, if it has not already been changed.
