- Private inpatient claims can now be transmitted as an IMC (Inpatient Medical Claim) for patients who are not eligible under their health fund to claim for the specified service. The patient pays the full amount and is rebated the Medicare subsidy by Medicare. Previously these could only be transmitted using the PCI claiming functionality.
- You can now manually create batches of items from the Batch Preview screen. In prior versions, users had to contact Bp VIP.net Support for assistance creating a manual batch for items still inside the two-year window for submission.
- Version Topaz Service Pack 1 restores the ability to create a scheduled task to export financial data to a Xero account. Scheduled exports to Xero were temporarily unavailable in version Topaz.
Best Practice Software strongly recommend that you review the release notes and the new articles so you are familiar with the changes under MWS, particularly PRODA and B2B device registration.
