About
In the Billing Engine, Insurance Payers must be designated as IBHRS payers using specific IBHRS-assigned codes. These codes are used by NSS to pull data to send to IBHRS. To enable this, Agencies must configure two things in the Billing Engine:
Increase Character Limit Code Length for Code Type MINST
- Navigate to Code Types: Maintenance and Setup > Code Types.
- In the Code Locator field, type MINST.
- Once MINST (Master Insurance Type) is highlighted, click the Ok button.
- In the Code Types Form, click the Edit button.
- In the Code Length field, delete 2 and replace it with a value of 10.
- Click the Save button.
Change Insurance Payer Code Value for IBHRS Payers
- Navigate to System Codes: Maintenance and Setup > System Codes.
- In the Code Locator field, type MINST.
- Select a type of payer from the list and click the Ok button.
- Click the Edit button.
- Depending on the type of payer you selected add the following Code Value:
Payer | Value |
Blue Cross/Blue Shield | 1900.1 |
Self Pay | 1900.2 |
HAWKI | 1900.3 |
Medicaid | 1900.4 |
IDPH | 1900.5 |
Medicare | 1900.6 |
No Charge | 1900.7 |
Other Government Payments | 1900.8 |
Other Health Insurance | 1900.9 |
Workers Compensation | 1900.10 |
IDPH/State Reimbursement Only | 1900.11 |
- Repeat steps for all IBHRS payers.
