7.11.0 Release Notes - Beta

Expected Beta Release Date: Monday, 01/13/25

Feature Enhancements:


Release 7.11.0

Override Selector dropdown and Activity Code Service Rate Override by Party Type

Maintenance and Setup > Activity Codes > Activity Codes > Srv Rates


The user interface for the Activity Code Rate List For Services has changed. Instead of multiple buttons, all Service Rate overrides are located in the Override Selector dropdown. 


In addition, there is now a Service Rate Override By Party Type. This will allow the user to create an override by Activity Code>Agency>Discipline>Party Type.

Ability to hide the SVD loop on a payer level



Maintenance and Setup > Insurance > Insurance 


On Page3 of the Master Insurance Form, there is now a setup option: “Do Not Include Loop 2430 on 837P.” This gives the user the ability to hide the Line Adjudication Information. This setup option was requested for a specific Iowa Substance Use Prevention Grant and should only be used with careful consideration.

Activity Code Groups in the Service Bundle setup should not be restrictive

Maintenance and Setup > Activity Codes > Activity Code Bundle Setup


NextStep Billing now has a setup option to “Create Bundle if any codes from Group exist” when setting up the Activity Code Bundle Setup rules. This checkbox can be used for Base Group Codes. When checked, the Services Preprocessor will not require every code in the group to be present when matching Base Code(s) to the final Bundled Activity Code.

Place of Contact Override to Activity Code Service Bundle Form

Maintenance and Setup > Activity Codes > Activity Code Bundle Setup


NextStep Billing has a new Contact Type field in the Activity Code Service Bundle Form. If your final Bundled Activity Code requires a different place of contact/service, the user can now add that while editing this form.


Note: This will override the place of contact that was originally connected to the service but will not override the Activity Code Override by Insurance setup.

Issue Resolved:

Release 7.11.0

Activity Code Groups should not have an automatic Print Status N if they are not added to the Bundle Setup


Maintenance and Setup > Activity Codes > Activity Code Billing Groups


Previously, if an Activity Code Billing Group was created but not added to the Activity Code Bundle Setup, any Line Items that contained a code from the Activity Code Billing Group were made with a Print Status N. This has been corrected.


If the Activity Code Billing Group is not added as a rule in the Activity Code Bundle Setup, it will display Line Items in Print Status Y.

835 Form - Units not resetting to 0 between claims


Previously, when running the 835 Form with the Un-Roll Transactions box checked, if "normal" matching failed or we were unrolling a remit into multiple lines, the "nOrigUnits" value used may be out-of-sync and not even from that record in the file. This has been fixed.
