CATAGORY - CLAIM STATUS STEPS

Find the WRHN web site by entering www.westernrehabnetwork.com in your web browser. The Western Reabilitation Health Network Web Site will come up. Go to Provider Login.

Enter your Login and Password. Once your login is approved, you will be taken to the "FUNCTIONS" page, and you will see file folder tabs across the top of the page. These tabs will say; Registration; Authorization; Additional; Outcomes: Patient Satisfaction; Reports

Click on "REPORTS" and you will be taken to the page that will give you access to "AUTHORIZATION DETAIL", "CLAIM DETAIL", and "POLICY DETAIL".

At the top of this new page, you will see "PATIENT", "FUNCTIONS", REPORTS", & "HELP". Click on the "PATIENT" and enter the patient's last name and click on "SEARCH". All files in your clinic's data base with the last name you submitted
will appear. Click on the file you want to open. If there are multiple files for the same patient, you may want to request WRHN merge the files for you before you procede. Simply send a request to LaDean and give her the name of the files you need merged.

Once you have selected the file you want to review, your screen will re-write, populating the fields with information from the file.

Near the bottom left side of the screen, you will see three file folder tabs; Auth; Claim; Policy. Click on the "AUTH" tab (the tab should turn to white) and then click on the "DETAIL" buttom to the right to see the detail of auths in the system for this patient.

To see "CLAIM" information. Click on the "CLAIM" tab (the tab should turn to white) and the screen will re-write with claim information. Near the center of the screen, you should see a series of "Hide or Show" buttons. To set your system to show you all claims information for this patient's file, click on each "show" and wait for it to change to "hide". Once you have set your system with the first patient at "hide", which is actually showing you the claims data and asking if you want it hidden again, all patient files you research will be set until you log off again.

Above the "hide" or "show" buttons, you may see the following message: "More items. Narrow search". This message is telling you the data is too large to fit on your screen and you must narrow your search by date span. Click on the "Date" button to the right othe "Hide/Show" buttons and enter a date span (00/00/0000), usually 30 days, and your screen will re-write to only show the claim detail for that date span. Make sure you enter the dates in the format shown. Once you have completed the date span search, make sure to remove all the dates or they will appear in your next patient search function.

CLAIM STATUS - SENT - PEND - PAID - DENIED

On the left side of your screen you will see a "Status" column. If the status column says "Sent", your claim has passed through the WRHN system and gone on to the payer for processing. To the right of the "Status" column, you will see a blue "Ref ID #". That number indicates the date the item (either claim or payment) passed through the WRHN system. For example, Ref. ID #200201301004, means the claim passed through the WRHN system on Jan. 30, 2002.

If you click on the blue Ref. ID #, you will be taken to the detail of that claim. The detail will include the CPT codes and $ amount billed, as well as date of service. If there are multiple dates of service, this is exactly how your electronic claim arrived at WRHN from your billing software/translator software.

If the status of your claim is "Pend", that means your claim passed through the WRHN system and we have received an EOB back from the payer with either a partial payment or request for additional information.

If the status of your claim is "Paid", that means the claim passed through the WRHN system and we have received payment from the payer and forwarded the payment to your clinic.

If the status of your claim is "Denied", that means the claim passed through the WRHN system and we have received a denial from the payer.

Click on the blue Ref. ID # to be taken to the claim detail page, then make sure the "History" button on the top left side says "Hide". If it says "Show History?", simply click on it and it will change to "Hide History" and show how the EOB was posted. Denial or Pend codes will appear in blue and by clicking on the code itself, you will be taken to the explaination of the code. Payments will appear in red. To create a "hard copy" of any of these pages, simply right click on your mouse and select "Print".

CATAGORY - CLAIM NOT SHOWING ON WEB SITE

If your claim is not showing as a "Sent" claim on the WRHN web site, we probably didn't get it. Check your WRHN Accept/Reject Report for the day you last transmitted the claim and the day after you last transmitted the claim to make sure it was not rejected. If it is not rejected, please resend your claim.

CATAGORY - CLAIM SHOWING AS "SENT", BUT PAYER DOES NOT HAVE

If you can see your claim on the WRHN web site and the payer states they do not have it, send a request through the website. We will resend your claim. Do not resend claims that you can see on the WRHN web site, unless you need to make a correction to the claim you previously sent. If that is the case, you must correct and resend the claim.

CATAGORY - POLICY BENEFITS

This tab is not active, but will connect you to the payer for benefit information in the future. In order to use this tab, it is IMPERATIVE you "REGISTER" and/or "AUTHORIZE" under the EXACT SAME PATIENT NAME AND IDENTIFICATION NUMBER ON THE PATIENT'S INSURANCE CARD.

CATAGORY - REPORTS

Find the WRHN web site by entering www.westernrehabnetwork.com in your web browser. The Western Rehabilitation Health Network Web Site will come up. Go to Provider Login.

Enter your login and password. Once your login is approved, you will be taken to the "FUNCTIONS" page, and you will see file folder tabs across the top of the page. These tabs will say; Registration; Authorization; Additional; Outcomes; Patient Satisfaction; Reports

Click on "REPORTS" and a new screen will appear. At the top left side of that new screen, you will see another "Reports" in blue. Click on that "Reports" and you will be taken to the reports menu screen.

Select the report you desire to run. Some reports are date specific (the WRHN system only goes back to 01/01/2001), and other reports are provider specific.

Click "OK" to create the report. Your screen will re-write and state the report has been submitted. Click on "Continue" and you will be taken back to the original "Report" screen. Your report is now created and in the "Report Que". Access your report by clicking on the "Reports" at the TOP RIGHT of your screen. The screen will re-write with the reports listed which you have created. The most recent report created is at the bottom of the list.

Click on the report to view and/or print it. Right click on your mouse to print. Once you have determined you no longer need this report, simply click on the "delete" button to the far right of the report and it will "delete".

Many reports are based upon the discharge information you have entered in the "OUTCOMES" and "PATIENT SATISFACTION" areas of the WRHN site. If you are trying to run reports without first completing your "OUTCOMES" and "PATIENT SATISFACTION", you may not see those patients which have not been completed. The WRHN system considers a patient file "done" when "OUTCOMES" and "PATIENT SATISFACTION" has been completed. You should run your "Needs Outcomes" and "Needs Patient Satisfaction" reports first, then enter data which the reports show is missing before running other reports.

All correspondence regarding PHI must go through the request screen on the web site. You can locate this in two areas of the reports screen. At the top of screen and middle of screen are located blue request buttons. If you wish to send a message to WRHN, click on the request in the middle of the screen and type in subject along with the message. Then submit. It should go directly to WRHN in "real time". To find the answer to your request, or an auth number and the number of visits authorized on a "additional" or "review" patient, go to the request button at the top of the request screen. Click on that button and there should be an IR #, if there is an answer to your request. Click on the IR # and the answer or auth will appear. You can right click on the answer and print it off your computer for the patient's chart. Once you received the answer to your request and printed it for your file, delete the request from the screen. If you delete a request prior to submitting it, it will never arrive at WRHN.

AGING REPORTS

The WRHN system is NOT a PRACTICE MANAGEMENT system, therefore, it does not know when you have collected patient copayments or taken contractual write-offs. The aging only understands what has or has not come through the WRHN system, and therefore, your accounts will not "zero" out at this time.

CATAGORY - MERGE PATIENT FILES

This feature MUST be completed by WRHN staff at this time, in order not to lose data from your data base. Please contact LaDean through the request screen under reports to merge files. Do not send emails to have this done. Emails with PHI are not HIPAA compliant.

CATAGORY - HELP BUTTON

The "HELP" button simply explains the page and the function of the page.

CATAGORY - FUNCTIONS BUTTON

The "FUNCTIONS" will take you back to the page you enter just after performing your secure login. The "FUNCTIONS" page has file folder tabs across the top of the page. These tabs will say; Registration; Authorization; Additional; Outcomes; Patient Satisfaction; Reports

CATAGORY - PRINT

You may "PRINT" any page from the WRHN web site by right clicking on your mouse and then clicking print.
