Frequently Asked Questions
While most issues will be avoided if following the HCAI Checklist closely, occasionally an error may occur that prevents a plan or invoice to submit to HCAI.
How to keep track of remaining treatment plans from past software?
1) Create an Insurance profile for the patient using a custom insurance company.
(i.e. MVA Remainder)
Enter the Default Policy Rules with a Maximum $ Per Visit amount matching the amount remaining on the active treatment plan.
Set the Coverage Reset to Do not Reset and ensure the Percent Coverage is set to 100%.
As this will not be invoiced, and only used for tracking, you will not need to enter any other fields (policy/id, etc)
2) Create a Treatment Plan with the remaining products/services attached as well as the insurance created in the previous step, set it to Default and manually adjust the status to read as approved.
(Note, manually forcing a status is a permission set in User Types)
This treatment plan can be titled to provide a reminder. (i.e. Tracking Remaining MVA)
When booking an appointment for this patient, the treatment plan you have created will be selected by default, and using the Treatment Plan hotlinks, you are able to keep track of the remaining products or services as you invoice them.
Note: You will still be required to bill for these remaining treatment plans using either your previous software or directly on HCAI's portal.
Treatment Plan Submission Errors:
| The occupation is invalid for the specified provider. | Ensure the practitioner types created for the practitioners attached to the treatment plan have the correct HCAI codes and practise type selected. |
| Provider is expired/invalid for specified facility. | Ensure the correct clinic is selected from the Treatment Plan Details tab and that the Practitioner has their HCAI Registration codes entered in their profile. |
Specified insurer does not exists in HCAI. |
Ensure the HCAI Insurance company is attached to the treatment plan and set up correctly in Settings. The HCAI Branch and Insurer numbers may need correction. |
An invalid telephone number was provided. Please verify that the format is (416) 111-2222. |
Ensure the patient's, and the adjuster's phone/fax number is in the correct format. You can confirm this by entering the HCAI Insurance profile and scrolling to the Adjuster's contact info. Acceptable formats are (416) 111-2222 or 1 (416) 111-2222. |
|
This first insurance company in this treatment plan determined by the ordering field on the Insurance tab of this treatment plan, must be from a Third-Party Group that is designated as MVA. |
Ensure the MVA/HCAI insurance is set to Order 1 (in the Treatment Plans' Insurance tab) while the Extended Health Benefits insurance is set to Order 2. Once approved, you can switch the order back if you prefer to have the Extended Health insurance be selected first when booking the patient's appointment, as long as the treatment plan is also set to default. |
HCAI Batch Billing Submission Errors:
| The auto insurance total does not equal the correct summed total. | Ensure the correct insurance(s) is/are selected in the Treatment Plan's Insurance tab. The HCAI Insurance must be first in order, with any Extended Health Benefits left as second and third if applicable. |
| Make Cheque Payable to Must be Provided | First, verify the correct clinic was selected when creating the consolidated invoice. If it was correct, but the error still appears, confirm the Cheque Payable To field on HCAI's portal (in Facility Management under the Payee heading) is not empty and that the Payee Field Editable on Invoices is set to No.  |
The Insurer field is not empty, an empty field is expected. |
Ensure the payments made for the extended health benefits portion of the invoice, are indeed 'Paid By' the insurance company, and not the patient themselves.  Learn more on how to apply these payments here. |
