Type of Request
Institutional Claim (UB-92)
Status
DSMO Process Completed
Business Reason
Loop 2305 - Position 243, Health Care Services Delivery: Inadequate choices under HSD05 (Duration of Visits Units) is leading to a discrepancy between the Claim submission data and the Plan of Care.
Suggestion
In Loop 2305 - Pos 243 - HSD05, currently available choices are:
  a. Day
  b. Week.

Consider a following physician order:
1 Visit Per Month for 2 Months.

Our nurses who are entering this data are complaining that the current HSD specs will not allow them to enter the order as specified by the physician. The "for 2 Months" part of the order is being entered into our systems as, instead, "for 8 weeks" owing to the lack of the option: MONTH under HSD05.

Please add the option for specifying MONTH under HSD05.
