Be a Deductible Genius with eTHOMAS Cycle Statements

At the beginning of the year, when new annual client deductibles hit, catching and sending the large, patient transfer balances can be overwhelming. To help combat this deductible landslide, Genius has given you a secret weapon- the Cycle Statement (you must be on eTHOMAS version 9.5.24 to have this feature available).


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.

Meridian Issues

Many of our clients are receiving a communication from Meridian regarding Taxonomy code to be required on all claims effective 01/01/2017.

At this time know that Genius Solutions is are working with Meridian to determine the what, where and how of this recent change. 

At this time there is nothing for you to do inside your eThomas program.  Genius Solutions will post more once this issue is resolved.
