In the last blog post I outlined how Panara alerts the operator if treatments are likely to result in reclaims.
Where the operator goes on to carry out the treatment anyway, a clinical necessity
needs to be entered on the claim form to avoid a reclaim.
Prior to the update released today Panara provided the ability to store clinical necessities only for items for which prior approval was being sought.
So Panara did not have a way of allowing the operator to enter clinical necessities during charting for later printing on the claim form. It also did not warn the operator at claim time of the necessity to enter a clinical necessity.
Now that they have been added, this video illustrates these new features in action.
