Patient Updates Window

The Patient Updates window displays recommendations of updates to patients' details supplied by Medicare. Each claim submission transmits patient information that is verified by Medicare. From time to time this information may differ between the Bluechip and Medicare records. Differences in patient information is transmitted back from Medicare with the processing report, and can be automatically applied in Bluechip using this function.

The window also shows the list of updates that can be applied. All updates are mutually exclusive, and listed in order that they were received (that is when the processing report was received). Updates may appear to be repeated as several processing reports may return the same update information. When the mouse hovers over the Flag column, a hint will show the description associated with the Medicare flag.
