Note: the UTN is required before you can create the EOE claim, so in addition to the tracking below, please add the UTN on Billing > PPS Billing > Edit PPS Episodes.
For ADR Tracking, from Barnestorm Main Menu, select Audits > ADR Tracking
On the Main Screen is where you will pull up the patient. You can type in the chart number or search by last name. To minimize the listing that appears, there are 2 alternate selection/checkbox options: 1. "Only Search for patients in Program #," or 2. "Include D/C Patients." Once you select the patient, from the listing, the payer field will populate (beneath the patient field) and a list of episodes will appear beneath the "Select the 485 period for the ADR." (See screen shot below) Select the appropriate payer and the appropriate 485 period, then click Save.
(If there is an asterisk by the episode period, this indicates there is an ADR Tracking established for that 485 episode.) On this same screen, you will enter the dates to track the ADR period, which includes the Date ADR Received; Date ADR Due; Date ADR Mailed; and Date ADR Resolved. You can print the reports by using the Reports tab. From there you can either Print all ADR History or Print All Unresolved ADRs.
From this Main screen, you can also add additional notes or comments under "Items found in the paper chart that are not in Barnestorm," "Notes," and "Final Status." (Make sure to hit Save, whenever any data is entered.)
We recommend using Documents (if you have that Barnestorm service)--we have created an ADR folder for each patient.
Put the documents into the ADR folder when you bring them up for printing, as shown below:
There are also options to Print ADR Tracking Sheet; and to Delete the Tracking Period (if entered in error or the wrong 485 period was chosen).
We recommend using the ADR Checklist documents to track what to send. Those are linked at the bottom of this article, and for any Barnestorm customers that use FormFiller, they have been added for you to check off, complete, and file for the patient within FormFiller in Barnestorm. If you have Documents but not FormFiller, you can scan up the checklist to the patient's ADR folder. If you'd like to add Documents and FormFiller to your Barnestorm service, please give us a call at 877-999-1171.
