Adding a Medicare week impacts how discipline frequencies are calculated. To ensure frequency counts are accurate, the software automatically checks to see if any active visit frequencies overlap the Medicare week start date. If any active frequencies overlap the start date, the system prompts the user to update the overlapping frequencies.
Select the Update Frequencies button to navigate to the Frequency page and update frequencies.
Select the Click here link to open the Overlapping Frequency Report and view a list of patients whose frequencies need to be updated. From the report, select Message User under Actions to message staff and request necessary updates for each patient on the report.
Once all the necessary frequencies have been updated, the new Medicare week can be saved.
