Be a Deductible Genius with eTHOMAS Cycle Statements
How does this help? Most offices send out patient statements at the beginning of the month, then notice that they have transferred a lot more money to patient balances after those statements were sent. Now you can do "cycle statements" in the middle of the month. Cycle Statements will ONLY prepare for patients who have had new activity posted to their account since their last statement. This includes charges, payments, transfer balances, debits, and credits. This allows you to notify your patients of their updated balances sooner, without sending a duplicate statement to patients with no new activity. Using cycle statements can save your patients confusion and frustration while freeing up office time from you answering those duplicate questions.
Voilà you're now a deductible genius!

End of Year Care for THOMAS & 1st Friday call for December 2016
Some ideas for you before you post any charges for 2017:
- Complete all posting of payments and charges that you have received up until 12/31/2010. Do not post 2011 information until this is completed.
- Run all the reports your accountant wants for year end. Ask the CPA now if they have all the documentation they need BEFORE you post next year's stuff.

2017 ICD-10 Revisions are Here!
ICD-10 code changes have been released for the 2017 fiscal year. Genius is making your update to the 2017 codes push-button easy! But... First you have to update your eTHOMAS program.
Genius made updates to the ICD-10 master list. You will be able to import diagnosis codes directly from this list. To obtain the new master list, you will need to update your eTHOMAS. The version that contains these updates is 9.5.21.
If you would like to be an early adopter, you can call support this next week, and they will get you updated and started. After Sept. 19th you may do a regular THOMAS update to receive the same final 9.5.21 version, and will not have to call support.
For 2017, there are 1,974 additional diagnosis codes, 311 deleted codes, and 425 revised codes. The coding changes are to be used on claims with dates of service from October 1, 2016 through September 30, 2017. To view a complete list of changes visit for professional claims you can view them HERE.
After your update is complete, you'll have the ability to see changes to your codes that were previously imported. Under the Utilities Tab >Maintenance>Check Dx Codes will provide you with a list of codes that are loaded into your THOMAS program, that no longer match the master list. This will allow you to update the new revisions and deletions from the previous code set.
You will also have the ability to go to Code Files>Procedures>Diagnosis and choose the import feature. Under the "Select For" drop down, you will notice a new category under each breakdown, with (2017) in front of the description. These breakdowns include only the newly added codes for the 2017 fiscal year.
Would you rather watch and learn?
