Billing Enhancements

Billing includes enhancements in the following areas:

Credit Overpayment Adjustment Reason Available in Billing

If your company is a standalone user of Billing, you can opt to add the claim adjustment reason "Credit Overpayment to Patient" to the Adjustment Type drop-down.

When making an adjustment to the claim, if you select Credit Overpayment to Patient, the system credits the patient's account with the amount overpaid by the carrier. This credit appears on the order screen and can be used in POS.

This feature does not support the General Ledger.
To use the Credit Overpayment to Patient adjustment type, Eyefinity must enable this feature for your company. Once enabled, your Admin also needs to map the adjustment type for each appropriate carrier.

Fixed Issues

Admin

  • You can export contact lenses to an Excel file from Admin; previously, an unknown error occurred when trying to export.

POS

  • When updating a patient's phone number, the new number now saves successfully. Previously, an unknown error occurred.

  • If your Admin allows for schedule configuration overlaps, you can apply a template that conflicts with the office hours or resource's schedule. When you apply or edit an applied template, a message displays indicating conflicts and you can override the conflicts. Previously, you could not apply the template.

AcuityLogic 8.30.6 for Cloud Users

The 8.30.6 release includes the following updates.

Release Date: TBD; please work with your Key Account Manager to schedule your update.

Admin

  • On the Company Information screen in the Rx and Order Screen Settings section, you define the default eyeglasses and contact lens promise date. These fields require you enter either the number of days or a zero.

    • If you enter a zero, no promise date displays on the pricing screen in Front Office and the user is required to select a date.

    • If you enter a number, the system calculates the promise date based on the number entered and displays the date on the pricing screen. The user can change the date.

BackOffice

  • Effective 10/1/2024, the Patient Record Report will display as a PDF. The Patient Record Report can be viewed when accessing patients via the appointment scheduler.

    If you are on release 8.30.6, for authorizations pulled after 10/1/2024, the report displays in PDF format. Authorizations pulled prior to 10/1/2024, continue to display in HTML format. Environments not updated to 8.30.6 by 10/1/24 will no longer display the PRR report within BackOffice; instead, you will need to use Eyefinity.com to view patient PRR’s until AcuityLogic is updated.

POS

  • On the pricing screen, the promise date can display a default date or be blank based on how your administrator sets up the system. If a default date displays, you can change the date as needed. If no date displays, you are required to select a promise date.

  • Effective 10/1/2024, the Patient Record Report will display as a PDF. If you are on release 8.30.6, for authorizations pulled after 10/1/2024, the report displays in PDF format. Authorizations pulled prior to 10/1/2024, continue to display in HTML format. Environments not updated to 8.30.6 by 10/1/24 will no longer display the PRR report within POS; instead, you will need to use Eyefinity.com to view patient PRR’s until AcuityLogic is updated.

  • If using AWS for your cloud environment, you can now access patient documents stored in a sub-folder.

  • When editing an Extras-only order or remaking or copying an eyeglass order, the items added in the "Miscellaneous" section of the Extras tab are included; previously, these items were not copied over.

  • When exam and material authorizations are pulled at different times, the authorization is associated with the correct EFAN.

Integrations

  • The CLX contact supplier integration description has been renamed to Eyefinity-CLX fromOptiport. When selecting the contact supplier in POS, you now see Eyefinity-CLX.

AcuityLogic 8.30.7 for Cloud Users

The 8.30.7 release includes the following updates.

Release Date: TBD; please work with your Key Account Manager to schedule your update.

  • When an authorization is pulled for one office (for example, 900) and then an order is created and the user attempts to calculate benefits in another office (for example, 999), the message "Unable to calculate patient's VSP benefits. Click override and enter calculations manually. Authorization does not belong to this office." displays. Previously, the system allowed the user to calculate benefits, which resulted in the claim going on hold.

  • Claims with an exam are created with the diagnosis pointers so they are billed correctly, preventing claims from going on hold.

  • You can view the VSP Patient Record Report; previously when trying to view the report, an unknown error displayed.

AcuityLogic 8.30.8 for Cloud Users

The 8.30.8 release includes the following updates.

  • We corrected an issue with the contact lens import; now all lenses in the import load correctly.

  • In Backoffice, you can now run the Discount Analysis Detail (AC141) report; previously, when you entered the report parameters, an unknown error displayed.

  • We corrected an issue preventing exam data from displaying on the Item Sales Report (MN101). Exams now calculate and show in the report when you select to show the Item Type "Exams".

AcuityLogic 8.30.11 for Cloud Users

The 8.30.11 release includes the following updates.

Release Date: TBD; please work with your Key Account Manager to schedule your update.

  • When the address or phone number is missing from the Insurance screen in the patient profile, you can now access an order, merge patients, print lab orders and apply eligibility without encountering an unknown error.

  • When returning an order, the amounts billed to/paid by insurance are applied to the return so the sale amount shows correctly. Previously, full return orders were leaving balances on the patient account because insurance amounts were not factored into the calculation.

  • When adjusting a sale paid with a credit card, the system refunds the correct amount to the card. Previously, extra return transactions were being sent to the card in error.

  • When an order has two contact lens styles but the same Item Group and same insurance carrier and plan, the copay amounts apply to both eyes correctly. Previously, the copay applied to only one eye.

  • When calculating VSP Medicaid orders using a fee schedule (not electronic), the benefits calculate correctly. Previously, if the order does not include an exam, the calculation failed.

  • The limit of 2100 active pricing packages has been removed. You can now price an eyeglass order if you have more than 2100 active packages.

  • We made performance improvements to the Physical Inventory Variance Summary (INV104) report. You can now run the report from POS, DC or Backoffice for all offices without experiencing a timeout.

  • When running the Vendor Order report in DC, if the vendor order account number for the office is available, the account number displays on the report.

  • When you click on the Patient Record Report in POS while calculating VSP benefits, the report now displays. Previously, an unknown error displayed.

  • When exporting the Daily Transaction (Sales) (AC105) report, the column descriptions display correctly.
