The Blue Diamond Optometrist System makes billing the Medical Services Plan easier
than ever before! The patient billing system has been designed to integrate with Teleplan.
All MSP entries are entered into the system as 'daily charges'. All daily charges have
a user-defined code associated with them. This code automatically tells the system whether
the charge is an MSP entry or a charge that will be sent to the patient account.
When the user is ready to submit MSP entries an MSP file is created. All the necessary
information for Teleplan is entered into the transmission file and then this file is sent
electronically. Shortly after submission of the transmission file, the Medical Services
Plan returns a file which contains all processed and rejected claims. All pertinent
patient files are automatically updated upon receipt of this file. In the patient file
account history MSP billing charges will be displayed separately from patients' personal
totals. A rejection report is created which lists rejected claims and the reasons for the
rejection. This report makes it easy for the user to review and correct rejected
submissions. Once corrected, these claims form part of the subsequent MSP transmission
file.
