Reverse Encounter Rate Adjustments

The Encounter Rate Reversal option enables you to quickly reverse automatic adjustments made by the Encounter Rate Billing library. The system uses the exact adjustment code that was used during the billing process to reverse the adjustments on the charges that were included in the encounter rate. The process is the same for all COBs. When this option is selected, the system:

• Reverses the most recent encounter rate adjustment.
• A message appears stating that ann Encounter Rate Adj Reversal is about to occur for (payer name), and this action will remove the ER SIM and ER amount from encounter maintenance.
• Logs the adjustment reversal, removal of the ER SIM, and removal of the ER amount as a significant event.

You can access this option from the Patient Chart on the Encounters tab by right-clicking on the encounter and selecting Encounter Rate Reversal.
