Tot Vx is the total number of visits completed. The second HIPPX code is the code after the episode was calculated for Therapy, Supplies, LUPA, etc… The $Amount column is the value that goes with the HIPPA codes column. $Expected shows the amount that Barnestorm has calculated should be paid after allowing for Therapy, Supplies, LUPA adjustments. $Diff shows the difference between $Amount and $Expected.The $Paid column only shows an amount when the episode is paid in full. It reflects what was actually paid. The $SupChrg column shows the charge amount for supplies.

UPDATE: 3/25/2021 Added new grid to screens in wide screen; added Date Billed on the Amount Billed > Comments line; added a note when charges disagree with amount billed. When only RAP Billed then the date billed does not show up in comments because it is the actual Amount Billed date. If billed multiple times in a month then all billed dates show up in comments. Actual billed date will not show up if the claim has not been created yet.
