Lytec 2009
for all your medical billing, scheduling and
reporting needs.
An addition of Month-to-Date and Year-to-Date to date information can be added to financial reports so that a clearer picture of the overall financial status of the practice is shown in a generally acceptable format.
Lytec 2009 includes a new report which allows the practice to easily print the total of a patient’s payments received and posted by the practice on a calendar year basis. The report should not need explanation or deciphering by the practice to the patient.
Past versions of Lytec allow for the filtering/selecting of various data items in RANGES of Codes or Individual Key Values. A single “range” would contain the same Code in both the first (“From”) and second (“To”) range filter fields. This data would be for Codes in the database in consecutive order BETWEEN the two ranges, inclusive. Any Codes outside the consecutive ranges would not be returned on the report. Lytec 2009 now has the capacity to filter using non-consecutive ranges and individual values of your choice.
The receptionist can now enter the charge and copay by right clicking the patient appointment, select Charges and Payments, enter the charge and payment and the ability to hand the receipt to the patient immediately without leaving the appointment scheduler screen.
If multiple patient records have been created for the same patient, the Merge Patient Utility in Lytec 2009 can be used to merge two patient records together along with all related records within the system.
Lytec 2009 brings ease in a paper saving process for identifying unapplied prepays by adding a checkbox option for exclude zero balances.
When utilizing the checkbox to make tables “inactive”, you can select whether you want to view the inactive items or not. A new information pop up box warns you when you save the bill of any and all inactive values used in that bill.
Multi-provider clinics utilizing Lytec 2009 will want to take advantage of the new ability to run the Practice Analysis with subtotal information by provider. Users will now find a check box to include a Subtotal by Provider on their Practice Analysis report and beneath that check box, there are radio buttons to allow selection of Summary or Detail subtotals.
A new field, called Billing Status Code, is stored per billing number and can be used as a filter to include or exclude on all financial reports and when printing claims and statements, or sending electronic claims.
In the Charges and Payments screen, there is a new check box called “Show item payments”. Checking this box makes payment details display directly under their corresponding charge line item, and are not able to be modified from here, but are visible in Lytec 2009.
Additional security selection options allow or restrict users from viewing, adding, deleting, and modifying patient notes This will allow the Lytec administrator to set security settings at the User or User Type level and also adds entries in the Audit Trail for each user that adds, deletes, or modifies any patient notes.
Added the ability to gather and report more financial information from Lytec 2009 reports, specifically the ability to subtotal by Location and Facility Codes.
Custom reports allow for creation of reporting and lists which are more specific for the user than what ships with Lytec 2009 out-of-the-box. The enhancement of being able to use all custom data fields with your Lytec 2009 custom reports will enable the user to create new or revised claim forms, patient statements, patient communications, lists, and other financial reports.
Appointment templates in Lytec can be very detailed sometimes causing a single day of the appointment schedule to require several templates. The new Sharing Appointment Templates feature allows the user to create and/or edit a template for a single resource and then allow other resources to use that same template. The process of using templates now becomes much more manageable and efficient.
