New claim and invoice notes in Axxess Home Care provide easy-to-use messaging tools so billers can track historical progress of individual claims. Agencies can use claim and invoice notes to maintain appropriate internal documentation from billing screens where supplemental notes can be entered and modified.
This functionality streamlines follow-up, collection and reconciliation of claims and invoices for all bill types.
Claim and invoice note permissions are associated to the existing Managed Care permissions in the Employee Center.
