electronic billing files

[cb...@louisville.edu]

Due to CBIS being short-staffed, we do not have time to edit files
that do not follow our electronic layout specifications to the letter
as we have in the past. Some of you have received emails about these
issues. But as this is good information to know, I am posting to
everyone subscribed to the list. If your file does not meet the
specifications posted at http://cbis.louisville.edu/electronbill.htm/electronicbilling2.htm
your file may not be processed in future cycles. Please take time to
review them.

In particular, common errors seem to be
- putting in dollar signs on invoice amount, or formatting the column
as 'currency' or 'accounting'
- being careless and making typos in the service code or date of
service
- using the wrong CBIS child id
- putting dashes or periods in the CBIS child id rather than numbers
only
- putting in pretty headers, blank lines, or making the file printable
(remember, we do NOT print out your spreadsheet; it is electronically
imported)

Please follow the specifications and submit your files accordingly.

Thank you,
CBIS
