Specific Transaction Codes must be created for UDS and/or state specific reporting purposes. The codes should not be used during Payment Entry for any purpose other than what they are intended for. Otherwise, the transaction dollar amounts cannot be separated properly for Table 9D in the UDS report.
Suggested transaction codes include the following:
- Sliding Fee Adjustment
- Sliding Fee Payment
- Encounter Rate Adjustment
- Bad Debt Write-Off
- Bad Debt Payment (Recovery)
Note: Multiple codes can be created for each sliding fee schedule (e.g. Medical Sliding Fee Adjustment/Payment, Dental Sliding Fee Adjustment/Payment, etc.). Multiple codes can be created for each encounter rate payer (e.g. Medicare Enc Rate Adjustment, Medicaid Enc Rate Adjustment, etc.).
Other transaction codes:
- Adjustment codes for Grant Program Adjustments
- Adjustment codes for Special Program Adjustments
