We’ve been closely monitoring how the COVID-19 virus has been impacting our clients and community. Vertican would like to offer some relief to issues the pandemic may have caused to your business.
This Collection-Master Town Hall, Placing Claims on Hold and Advancing Payment Schedules, was presented by Joe Woodward, Team Lead of Client Services for Collection-Master. It covered the following:
In Collection-Master 9.1D.012, a new feature has been added as part of Veritcan’s Stimulus package. The new feature is for existing consumer payment schedules and facilitates the following:
Push Payment Due Dates Ahead in Bulk
-
Payment Schedule Diary Dates may be “bumped” ahead X number of days.
-
The new feature facilitates providing the consumer with a grace period due to the Coronavirus.
-
-
Payment Schedule Diary Dates may be “bumped” back
-
Backward bumps are typically done to correct a bump forward mistake.
-
-
Payment Schedules may be pushed ahead on a claim-by-claim basis.
-
There is a new Payment Schedule Bump icon on the Payment Schedule Screen toolbar.
Forbearance on Payment Schedules with Payment Calculator
-
Payment Schedules may be pushed ahead in bulk using a new Smart Document Formula function.
New Security Policies to Place Claims on Hold
In 9.1D.012, we’ve added new policies to place claims on hold due to COVID-19 in Collection-Master.
Policies Guidelines:
-
Set the policy by user or user group.
-
Add a +COVID-19 Tag to the claim to have the policy affect the claim.
-
An additional +HOLD Tag has been established for future use to place claims on hold with these policies.
-
-
Tags are easy to add to individual files or in bulk.
-
One policy will do the following:
-
Block access to review the claim in the Paperless File.
-
Block Payments from posting.
-
Block cost disbursements.
-
Block documents from merging.
-
-
Another policy will do the following:
-
Warn on entry in the Paperless File the claim is on hold.
-
Warn when posting payments that the claim is on hold.
-
Warn when cutting cost checks that the claim is on hold.
-
-
When the pandemic is over, simply turn off the policy to release the COVID-19 hold.
