[MT-L] ? Magic 5.67 Automating downloading of claim file

[Ganesh Seshadri]

In BAR/Magic, we used to do “Compile Tapes/CPU” followed by “Create Tapes/Transmit CPU” to get the electronic claims down to our server where it could be FTPed to our claims processing vendor, MedAssets.  Meditech has helped us automate some of the process using the “Enter/Edit Auto Daily Processes” in the additional routine menu, but we still don’t know how to get the file to get sent to a server from there automatically.  We know hospitals in our area that have the whole process automated, but they are Client Server or 6.x.  Has anyone automated the entire claims submission process in Magic and can direct us to the right options to do this, or perhaps be available to talk to our BAR person who’s trying to set this process up? 

 

Thank you,

Are you printing the claim file to a spool group through auto close?

Hello Ganesh,

       This may be a multi part solution for you.

First continue to schedule or automate the ENTER/EDIT Auto Daily Processes

NPR will allow you to program in a set file path to download that data automatically, this may involve a custom NPR report.

Please refer to knowledge base article 11486 https://www.meditech.com/kb/Custform.ASP?urn=11486

The 4.8 version of MAGIC calls new windows programs when a user enters DOWNLOAD at the "Print On:" prompt. The windows program opens a window to the default directory of the workstation software.  To default a user defined path, enter the following code in an IFE screen attribute of one of the select prompts (Using option 8 Edit Screen Elements):

IFE="PATH"^MIS.SPOOL.c.filename

An example of opening to the Reports folder on the C drive and writing to file testdDATE:

IFE="C:\REPORTS\testd"_@.today^MIS.SPOOL.c.filename

The above code will cause the DOWNLOAD option to open to the Reports folder on the C drive and create a folder with the name testd concatenated with today's date.  This will allow the user to run the report daily and not have to supply a different file name since the date will be different for each run.  Note: if a report is run more than once a day, you can concatenate the time as well using @.now.  

Sincerely,

Joel Otto

I recall that the Auto Daily Process will only Compile Tapes/CPU; it does not Create Tapes/Transmit CPU, which is still a manual step. This was a quite while ago, and I believe that there was a KB article on this topic; my old notes say KB10625. I'm not aware that this function has been modified recently; but if it has, it would be good to know.

I have other clients that use other tools from vendors like Iatrics to automate the Day Close functions; but I don't know if those tools do the Create/Transmit function either.

Hi, tools like Move-it or  BizTalk can be scheduled to find and then send the your scheduled downloaded file to your vendor. Your network team would be familiar.
