Change Log and Release Notes

August 2023 Release Notes

9.8

The 9.8 release contains improvements to organizations’ workflows with the addition of several new Advanced Business Intelligence (ABI) dashboards, customizable Client Portal Settings, updates to permissions and a new widget in the Client Portal. This release also includes enhancements to filters and the ability to send credit card receipts in the Billing module. The following has been released:

Client Portal Settings

A new “Client Portal Settings” page has been added to all organization accounts allowing them to control which modules and sub-modules clients have access to.

The previous (Contacts > Accepted Insurances and Places of Service) permission has been changed to (Contacts > Organization Settings) and additionally allows employees to have access to the new “Client Portal Settings” page:

- (Contacts > Organization Settings): Allows users to add, remove, or edit Accepted Insurances and Places of Service, and manage Client Portal Settings.

Additional Navigation Bar Improvements

The number of new notifications will now display inside of the drop-down menu for the Messages and Tasks modules.
To improve user navigation, the “Notifications” section of the user drop-down on the upper right-hand side now has its own scroll bar.
For easy referencing of authorizations, Notes & Forms, and other eligible files, the “Preview” button has been added back to the top right-hand corner of files.

Fixes

A bug preventing some iPhone users from seeing the Messages module when using CentralReach in the Chrome browser has been resolved.
An issue preventing users from copying and pasting images in the Messages module has been fixed.

Unsigned Document Widget

To eliminate manual searching and enhance productivity, a new “Files Pending My Signature” widget has been added to the Client Portal. The “Files Pending My Signature” widget displays all Session Notes and Notes & Forms that are pending clients’ signatures.

Fixes

An issue causing client widgets to not retain the user’s customized view of their dashboard has been resolved.

Authorization Visit Tracking

To improve accuracy and consistency in reporting for multi-disciplinary services, visits are now calculated based on the authorized service date rather than the number of services scheduled. Visits will only be calculated at the Authorization Group level. All other levels will not calculate or display visits authorized, pending, worked, or remaining.

The Authorization report and view when scheduling an appointment are only at the grouped level. Visits are not calculated or displayed at the service code level and will reflect as “0” visits or “n/a.”

Adding Authorization Filter Fields

Additional “Yes” or “No” filters have been added to the authorizations page in the Billing module. Users can easily filter authorizations with or without a listed provider, as well as the following new filters:

Billing, Referring, Provider/Supplier, Facility, Ordering, and Supervising

Please note:

To match the wording in authorizations, “Locked for” has replaced the “Usable By” selection under the “Manager & Usable by” section of the “Group Settings” pop-up.
Managers and Implementers can still be searched in the search bar.
An update to the search bar will be in a subsequent release.

Fixes

The ERA filter will now correctly filter for combined line payments that have not been reconciled.
When viewing an authorization, an error causing the wrong payor to display for the grouped code if a client has more than one authorization and payor has been corrected.
Users with the (Contacts > Manage Client Payors) permission can now upload and review the “Linked File” section of a payor’s details.
Users can now view claim activity notifications in the “History” tab when editing a claim and in the Activity section of the Home module.

Billing Filter for Service Type and Service Category

New Service Type and Service Category filters have been added to the Billing module. Users can filter service codes on the Billing screen by the Service Type and/or Service Category associated with the service code.

Creating Tasks from Timesheets and Scheduling

To enhance efficiency by eliminating the need to switch between multiple screens, tasks can now be added from the Timesheets screen and “View My Calendar” in the Scheduling module:

In the Timesheets section of the Billing module, users with the (Tasks > Access) permission can select at least one timesheet entry and use the “Add Tasks” option under the “Actions” dropdown to associate timesheet entries with tasks.
- Information displayed in a task associated with a timesheet/billing entry includes the entry ID, service address, service code/authorization, place of service, date of service, and time of service.
In the “View My Calendar” section of the Scheduling module, users with the (Tasks > Access) permission can select at least one appointment and use the “Add Tasks” option under the “Actions” dropdown to associate appointments with tasks.
- Information displayed in a task associated with an appointment includes the appointment name/type, provider name, client name, appointment ID, and the date and time of service.
- A new “Tasks” filter has also been added under the “Appointment Details” section of the Filters tab to easily reference any appointments with or without tasks associated, as well as filter appointments with tasks overdue, due today, tomorrow, this week, or next week.

Fixes

An issue preventing users from sharing task templates created by non-organization accounts has been corrected.

Email Credit Card Receipts

To increase visibility for organizations and clients and provide convenience, Billers can now provide receipts for credit card transactions. For transactions processed through Paya (Paragon), Billers can:

Send credit card receipts to clients via email for single and bulk apply payments.
Resend receipts for previous transactions from the Billing and Payments screens in the Billing module.
Send refund receipts for credit card refunds processed from the Billing screen.

ABI: The BT and BCBA Supervision Dashboards

The following new Advanced Business Intelligence (ABI) dashboards have been added to the Staff Management folder of the Insights module. These dashboards display the supervision details of overlapping services with one BT and their supervising BCBA using the new Supervision data cube based on the new service code category.

The graphs in Part I display the supervision rate across BTs or BCBAs, which can be filtered by office location, and allow users to select a specific provider’s details to view in Part II. The new supervision data source includes data from 13 months prior to the date of viewing. Please note, voided or deleted billing entries are excluded while both billable and non-billable billing entries are included in these dashboards.

BT Supervision Dashboard: Focuses on a single BT’s supervision appointments, to track their ability to meet their 5% supervision goal per month. The BT supervision rate is calculated by dividing supervised direct therapy hours by total direct therapy hours, based on service code category.

BCBA Supervision Dashboard: Focuses on the hours spent supervising for one BCBA. The Supervision Rate equals total hours the BCBA provided supervision divided by total BCBAs’ service hours.

5009: ABI Supervision Report

ABI: The Client Supervision Dashboard

To help organizations easily monitor case supervision and identify clients who need additional supervision to meet their client supervision standard, a new Client Supervision Dashboard has been added to the “Staff Management” folder in the Insights module. The Client Supervision Dashboard uses billing data to provide a clear overview of the supervision ratio (supervision hours divided by direct therapy hours) for each client, allowing the organization to easily identify clients requiring more supervision. The dashboard can also be used to analyze historical trends to ensure a consistent delivery of supervision hours per client.

ABI: Authorization Utilization – Hour Based Dashboard

To help organizations track weekly and monthly utilization rates of authorized hours across all active authorizations, a new Authorization Utilization – Hour Based Dashboard with clickable links to view billing and authorization details has been added to the “Client Management” folder in the Insights module. This new report will help organizations determine the authorization utilization rate, non-worked authorized hours, and identify clients that need additional sessions scheduled to catch up on authorized hours in the authorization group level.

The Authorization Utilization – Hour Based Dashboard displays all hour-based authorization utilization on a weekly and monthly basis by locations, service code categories, authorization managers, and clients. It also displays the amount of non-worked authorized hours to estimate potential revenue growth opportunities by maximizing authorization usage.

A new Auth Hours Utilization Cube is created with daily utilization data per auth group.
The weekly/monthly authorization utilization rate is calculated by dividing worked hours by authorized hours.
Authorized hours are calculated by evenly distributing the total authorized hours by the total number of authorized date for any authorization group and then rolling it up to the needed date range.
Worked hours are based on all billed hours in both billable and non-billable billing entries associated with the authorized group.

Please note, this dashboard does not include authorizations that only have authorized unit/visit information or auth frequency being “once.”

Other Authorization/Billing Field Updates in the Billing Cube

New “Service Code Type” and “Service Code Category” fields were added to the Billing cube.
A new Authorization “isActive” field was added to the Billing cube to show which authorization is still active (with authorization end date on or after the last update date).

ABI: Task Cube Optimization

As part of the Task Cube performance optimization, the following improvements and changes have been made:

The “Task Age” field has been updated so it displays the difference between the creation date and the current date.
A new “Task Status” column has been added to reflect whether the task is Completed, Deleted, Overdue, or Open.
Task IDs are now clickable hyperlinks that redirect to the related task.

The following columns have been ADDED to the Task Cube:

Table Name	New Field
Assigned To Provider	Provider Labels
Created By Provider	Provider Labels
Task	Is Over Due
Task	Task Completed By Name

June 2023 Release Notes

CR Mobile v.4.6

Release Recap

The CR Mobile v4.6 release contains major improvements to the Appointment Details and Appointment Summary Screens, including additional appointment and service code information, a new signature workflow, and the option to complete appointments later.

The following updates have been released with CR Mobile v4.6:

Appointment Details Screen Improvements

For smoother user interaction, swipe bars to start and end appointments have been added to the Appointment Details screen. Session data sheets and Session Notes also contain visual improvements.

The Appointment Details screen header now contains the date, time, and duration of the appointment under the client’s name.
After selecting an appointment from the schedule, users can now “SLIDE TO START” the appointment at the bottom of the Appointment Details page. Users can also “SLIDE TO END” the appointment.
- If Electronic Visit Verification (EVV) is enabled, users will receive a “Location Alert” if their device indicates they are not at the appointment location.

The Session data sheets and Session Notes sections on the Appointment Details screen also have an updated look and feel.
- Session Note Templates assigned to multiple service codes will now list the name and service code in the Session Notes section.
- The service code will also appear on the Session Notes screen banner, and will contain an asterisk if the Session Note is required.

Appointment Signature and Assigning BCBAs

The signatures workflow is now simpler, eliminating the process of signing multiple Session Notes and the appointment:

The “Signatures” section notifies users that signatures are collected at the end of the appointment.
- Please note, client signatures must be collected at the end of the appointment.

BCBA and “other” signatures can be assigned to specific users and collected later on the web.

The Signatures drop-down will note the assigned and collected or uncollected signatures.

Complete Appointment Later

To allow users to complete tasks in CR Mobile after ending an appointment, a new “Complete Later” workflow has been added to the Appointment Summary screen.
The “SIGN AND COMPLETE” button allows users to provide their own signature and complete the appointment.
- Please note, this button only appears if all required tasks have been completed for the appointment.

If a user has not completed all required tasks for an appointment, they can select the “COMPLETE LATER” button to save their current progress in the appointment and complete it in CR Mobile later.
- Incomplete appointments will be marked “In progress” and have a red “Appointment incomplete” notice on the Schedule screen.
  - Users can select the appointment to view the specific missing requirements. The incomplete section will also have a red asterisk (*) next to the required field.

9.6

Release Recap

9.6 contains major enhancements to the client profile permissions in the Contacts module that simplify employee setup and provide organizations with more control over client-admin connections.

This release also includes payor setup updates, combined lines posting for auto ERA, new service code fields to support future multi-disciplinary functionality, the ability to save unlocked notes and forms as Microsoft Word documents, a new provider cancellation coverage optimization type for ScheduleAI, and a new Advanced Business Intelligence (ABI) Practice Operation Pulse Check Dashboard.

Use the new table of contents and persona icons to navigate the release notes and find all the details you need to take full advantage of the 9.6 improvements:

Client Profile Permissions

The “client-admin” and “read-only” settings have been removed from the “Connect Clients” screen, custom contact forms, as well as the “Provider Network” section of clients’ profiles. Auto-sharing settings for learning trees now have a “Can edit” checkbox that, if checked, allows users to edit clients’ learning trees. “Client-admin” and “read-only” permissions have been replaced by the following new contacts permissions:

(Contacts > View Client Profile): Allows users to view Basics, Profile Picture, Principals, Health Record, Additional Contacts, and Claim Settings in clients’ profiles.
(Contacts > Manage Client Profile): Allows users to view and edit Basics, Profile Picture, Principals, Health Record, Additional Contacts, and Claim Settings in clients’ profiles.
- Please note, this permission has replaced the option to share client health records with “client-admins.”
(Contacts > Manage Client Payors): Allows users to edit the “Payors” page and manage payors for all clients in their network.

In addition, the following two new permissions have been implemented to give you more control over the “Activity/Call Log” section of users’ profiles:

(Contacts > Add New Activity/Call Log): Allows users to view the “Activity/Call Log” section of a contact’s profile and add new activity.
(Contacts > Manage Activity/Call Log): Allows employees to view and add new “Activity/Call Log” section of a contact’s profile and edit or delete activity/call logs added by others.

Information in client profiles, contact cards, face sheets, and the Contacts grid have been updated to accommodate these new client profile permissions.

Other Permissions Updates

Several other updates have been made to permissions to improve Admins’ user experience:

The “Permission” dropdown containing “client-admin” and “read-only” options in client, generic, and employee Contact Forms has been removed.
Client Contact Forms and Connect Clients pages now have an option to “auto-edit” Learning Trees. If “Can edit” is selected, users connected to the new client will be granted edit access to any of the client’s future learning trees.
The option to hide client and employee/generic principals from employees without the “client-admin” and “admin” permissions has been replaced with the (Contacts > Manage Client Profile) and (Contacts > Manage Employees) permissions, respectively.
Users must have the (Utilities > Connect Employees & Clients) permission to modify client connections and sharing access from a client’s “Provider Network” page.
Users must have the (Insurance > Manage Verification Details) permission to see the insurance verification details of clients from their Profile, Contacts Grid, Widget, and Contact Card.
Users must have the (Contacts > Manage Meta-Data) permission to see the “Meta Data” section in contact profiles.

Navigation Bar Improvements

The following enhancements have been made to the UI banner at the top of the screen:

Users’ names will now display below the organization name on the top right corner of the navigation bar. The Chosen/Preferred Name will be displayed here, if applicable.
For increased visibility, the notification dot on the Tasks and Messages modules have been enlarged and changed to a red color.
The “Revert to old interface” option has been removed from the navigation bar. Users can no longer revert to the old interface.

Payer Setup Updates

Enhancements have been made to the Insurance, Credit Card, and Other tabs in the Payors section of client profiles, as well as more required fields when adding insurance.

To reduce potential errors, the following fields are now required in the Patient tab of a client’s insurance: First Name, Last Name, Relationship to Subscriber, Gender, Birthday, Address, City, State, Zip. For existing clients, these required fields will only need to be updated when editing an existing payor.

An “Archive” button has replaced the trash can icon and allows users to archive Insurance and Other payors. After archiving, a “Recover” option is available. The trash can icon has also been replaced with a “Delete” button for users to delete credit cards.

The ‘Insurance’ tab contains the following new headings:

Active Insurances: The date in the insurance’s ‘Valid From:’ field has not expired.
Inactive Insurances: The date in the insurance’s ‘Valid From:’ field has expired.
Archived Insurances: Lists archived insurances that are grayed out.

The ‘Other’ tab contains the following new headings:

Active Payors: Added and active payors that have not been archived.
Archived Payors: Payors that have been archived and will be grayed out.

ERA Posting

To provide users with the ability to adjust the patient responsibility amount in an ERA, users can now view the current patient responsibility value in the “Patient Resp.” column and the future value in the “Patient Resp.” column of the ERA/835/EOB section, to see the value before and after the patient responsibility adjustment is applied. The “Patient Resp.” field can be edited and adjusted as needed. Please see the following rules:

The new “Patient Resp.” field of the ERA/835/EOB section is set to “0” when the page first loads if there is not a patient responsibility adjustment or if one is not selected. Users can adjust this field, as needed.
The “Patient Resp.” in the ERA/835/EOB section is now blank anytime a user is trying to reconcile payments that have already been reconciled. Users can adjust this field, as needed.
For any voided billing entries, the “Patient Resp.” in the ERA/835/EOB section is now blank and non-editable.

Combined Lines Payment Posting for Auto ERA

To eliminate manual workarounds and save time and resources, organizations using the Auto ERA feature can now automatically reconcile claim payments with combined lines.

The following exclusions apply:

Negative Payments
If the service line is a currently copied manual payment or adjustment
If the service is associated to an existing voided billing entry
Organization has agreed rates turned OFF

Additionally, the Claim Adjustment Reason Codes have been updated with 81 new codes.

Fixes

If agreed rates are off and there is a combined line, the patient responsibility amount will now be applied to the combined line(s) when the service line adjustment is selected, as expected.

Multi D Service Categorization

To support future multi-disciplinary functionality, two new fields have been added to Service Code Properties: Service Type (required) and Service Category (optional). Existing service codes with clear service types have been automatically updated with the corresponding Service Type. When editing existing service codes, users will be required to select a “Service Type” before saving.

Service Type (multi-select):

Applied Behavior Analysis
Community Mental Health
Mental Health Services
Occupational Therapy
Physical Therapy
Speech Therapy
Other

Service Category (single-select):

Administrative
Assessment
Direct Therapy
Parent Training
Supervision
Other

Authorization – Calculate Frequency

To save time and reduce errors, a new “Calculate Frequency” button has been added to the Frequency & Amounts tab in the Global Authorization Settings. Selecting this button will automatically calculate the frequency amount for dollars, hours, units, and visits based on values entered in the Total Group Amount.

For example, a service code for an authorization has a valid date from January 1st through January 31st, with a total hour amount of 25 from the authorization. Users can calculate the frequency amount of hours by the frequency of either actual values or pro-rated values using the “Calculate Frequency” button.
- E.g., (25 Total Group Amount / 5 weeks of actual value of Frequency = 5 hours weekly)

Save Notes and Forms as Word Document

To support clinical and administrative workflows and allow for the ability to manage change tracking outside of CentralReach, users can now download unlocked Session Notes and Note & Forms as Microsoft Word (.docx) files.

Visit Verification, Sandata, and Authorization Import Updates

After saving the “Location” column as a filter in the Visit Verification screen, it will now display as expected.
When sending visits to Sandata, users will no longer receive an error message rejecting them as duplicate visits.
The “AuthHoursFrequency” field in the Authorization import is now optional.

CR Mobile – Meta Data Fields in Session Notes

To increase therapist productivity and reduce admin time, meta data and additional insurance information can be included in mobile Session Notes. NPI numbers, payor requirements, and other additional attributes can be added as meta data fields in provider and client profiles and will be included when completing Session Notes on CR Mobile.

Secondary and tertiary insurance information can also be added to Session Note Templates and included in Session Notes.

ScheduleAI: Provider Cancellation Coverage

To reduce time spent looking for coverage and updating schedules due to cancellations, CR ScheduleAI’s new optimization feature, Employee cancellation coverage, allows users to automate the process of finding coverage for cancelled client events by providers. Select up to 5 providers to cancel events for during a 7-day period. CR ScheduleAI will search for available providers that meet the matching criteria and generate coverage for the cancelled events.

ABI: New Operation Pulse Check Dashboard

To support Practice Managers, a new Operation Pulse Check dashboard has been added to the Advanced Business Intelligence (ABI) dashboards in the Practice Auditing folder of the Insights module. This new dashboard allows users to easily monitor the operational health of their practice(s), with 5 key operational domains and insights:

Clients and Providers
- Create and maintain clear and efficient workflows, keep an optimal staffing ratio based on client volume, and collaborate with providers to ensure high quality of care is being delivered.
Cancellations
- Understand the volume and impact of cancelled hours, as well as the reasons behind the cancellations.
Timesheet Conversion
- Understand timesheet conversion performance to optimize cash flow, including the on-time (within 48 hours) timesheet conversion rate, distribution of past-due unconverted hours by providers, and by date of services.
Converted Service Hours
- Understand trends in service hours, billable vs non-billable hours, and caseload by provider to optimize staffing and prevent burnout.
Upcoming Expiring Authorizations
- Make sure new authorizations are obtained in a timely manner to ensure a great patient experience.

ABI: New Data Fields with Clickable Links

Four new data fields with clickable links have been added to the Billing and Claims cubes. This enables users to quickly navigate from ABI dashboard to the Billing and Claims modules for the specific billing entry ID, authorization ID, or claim ID. The following clickable links have been added to the Billing and Claims cubes:

Billing cube
- Billing link
- Auth link
Claims cube
- Claim ID Claims Manager link
- Claim ID Billing link

ABI: Clinical Goal Cube Optimization

As part of the Clinical Goal Cube performance optimization, the following improvements and changes have been made:

A new “Client Age” field has been added to the Clinical Goal, Supervision, and Billing cubes.
- Please note, this is only available if the client’s birth date is added to the “Basics” section of their profile.
A new Branch Label Group field called “Goal Labels” has been added into the Clinical Goal cube. This field allows users to view and filter by a simplified list of label names.
Data on deleted goals and non-data collection branches (i.e., resources or pages within the learning tree) are now excluded.
To optimize the Clinical Goal cube, the following fields are removed in the Goal and Clinical Goal tables:

Table Name	Removed Field
Clinical Goal	Auto Progress
Clinical Goal	Contact Type
Clinical Goal	Custom Intervention
Clinical Goal	Last Score By Name
Clinical Goal	Last Score By Data Type

May 2023 Release Notes

CR Mobile v.4.4

Release Recap

The CR Mobile v4.4 release contains several updates to the Appointment Summary screen and the ability to edit the allocation of appointment time per service code.

The following updates have been released with CR Mobile v4.4:

Appointment Summary Enhancements

The following enhancements have been made to the Appointment Summary screen:

Users can edit the start and end time of appointments and service codes.
- If adjustments are made, a new “Time Remaining” section shows how much time has been over and under allocated for service codes. If the durations do not match, the remaining time will be in red. Please note, this section defaults to “0 mins” and will only change if manual adjustments are made.

Allocating Time to Multiple Service Codes

The RBT workflow for distributing the total time spent across multiple service codes before submitting timesheets has been simplified! RBTs can now adjust the start and end times per service code when multiple codes are attached to an appointment.

9.4

Release Recap

9.4 contains a major visual enhancement to the UI banner at the top of the screen: the new design relies on text-based navigation instead of icons for an easier, more modern user experience and a quicker learning curve for new users.

This release also includes streamlining accepted places of service, improving combined lines payment posting, adding a payor indicator on the ERA screen, new permissions, updates to Session Note Templates, and new Advanced Business Intelligence (ABI) Supervision Reports. Use the new table of contents and persona icons to navigate the release notes and find all the details you need to take full advantage of the 9.4 improvements.

New UI Banner

Introducing a new look and feel to CentralReach’s navigation bar at the top of the screen! The enhanced design includes text-based navigation, replacing the icons for each module, to reduce onboarding time and increase user satisfaction. The following enhancements have also been made to the new user interface (UI):

The Learn module has been renamed to the Clinical module for more intuitive navigation.
The Tasks and Messages modules have been moved to the right-hand side of the screen next to users’ names for increased visibility.
Users can temporarily switch back to the old design after logging in. Please note, that option will only be available until the next release.
The Client Portal UI will remain the same.

A new “ABLLS-R | AFLS” section has been added to the Clinical module drop-down. ABLLS-R | AFLS CR Assessments users can select that option to log into their account. For users that do not have ABLLS-R | AFLS CR Assessments, selecting that option will allow them to learn more.

Plan Ahead: New Permissions to Simplify Client-Admin Connections

To simplify employee setup and provide organizations with more control, the following permissions have been added to the Contacts section of the Permissions module and will be functional with the June release. Organizations are required to configure these permissions now to ensure appropriate access with the June release:

(Contacts > Manage Client Payors): Allows users to view and edit all payor information in a client’s profile, including adding, removing, and editing insurance, credit card information, and other payors.
(Contacts > Manage Activity/Call Log): Allows users to view, edit, or delete Activity/Call Logs for connected contacts.
(Contacts > Add New Activity/Call Log): Allows users to view and add new Activity/Call Logs for connected clients.
(Contacts > Manage Client Profile): Allows users to edit Basics, Profile Picture, Principals, Health Record, Additional Contacts, and Claim Settings in clients’ profiles.
(Contacts > View Client Profile): Allows users to view Basics, Profile Picture, Principals, Health Record, Additional Contacts, and Claim Settings in clients’ profiles.

Other Permissions Updates

Several other updates have been made to the Permissions module to improve admins’ user experience:

The (Contacts > Accepted Insurances) permission has been changed to (Contacts > Accepted Insurances and Places of Service) and allows users to add, remove, or edit accepted insurances, set default work week for authorization calculations, and manage blackout dates for the organization. This permission also allows users to add, remove, or edit an accepted places of service list for the organization. Users that previously had (Contacts > Accepted Insurances) will automatically have this permission enabled.
- An “Accepted Places of Service” section has been added under the Settings tab of profiles for users with the (Contacts > Accepted Insurances and Places of Service) permission.

The issue displaying Last Login date as “Never” to all users without the (Contact > View History) permission has been resolved. Only users with this permission can view the last login date for the contacts they are in network with.
Users without the (File > Upload) permission can no longer upload any files and view the “Upload File” icon from a user’s contact card.

New Fields Added to the Employee & Generic Import

To simplify the employee onboarding process, the Employee & Generic Import now includes additional fields. Sandata logic has also been enhanced to minimize rejections, and minor updates have been made to the Client import and Contacts module to streamline workflows.

The following fields have been added to the Employee & Generic Import: Chosen/Preferred Name, Primary Office Location, Employee Type, Pay Code, Pay Code Rate, Pay Type, Pay Type Start Date, Pay Type End Date, Provider Drive Time, and Provider Mileage Rates.
- Please note, the Primary Office Location is only considered when updating a file, not when adding a new employee account. Matching is based on the exact name in the organization’s “Office Locations”.
Users can now import multiple PIPE separated diagnosis codes, such as F84.0 I F840.7 to the Client Import.
The Sandata retry logic has been updated. The system will retry 5 additional times before rejecting, as a result the visits will be in “pending” for a longer time.
The “Import Clients” section located in the Contacts module’s Utilities & Tools has been removed with the availability of the new Client Import in the Files module.
An “External System ID” field has been added to the Contacts module export.
A search field has been added to the Contact Forms screen in the Contacts module for users to search for Contact Forms.

Session Note Formatting and Target Comments

Session notes have been enhanced significantly to include improved formatting and an option for adding target comments. The new formatting updates include bold section headers and borders around each section.

An “Include Comments” checkbox has been added to Session Note Templates that allows providers to include comments in Session Notes.

- Selecting to include comments will also add a “Comments Added During Session” section to the Session Summary.

Transitioning Trials and Routines to NET View

In learning trees and sessions, all branches with a Session Type currently set to Routine or Trial have been switched to NET view. In sessions, the “eye” icon has been removed and replaced with a “NET View” button when looking at Session History.

Meal Period Events

In CR ScheduleAI, schedulers can now auto-populate a non-billable meal period for providers, based on individual state labor laws. The meal period will be displayed on the draft schedule and is also publishable to the provider’s calendar. This improved feature eliminates the need for schedulers to manually calculate meal period placement in provider calendars.

Event Recurrences

In CR ScheduleAI, users can now optimize schedules for up to 5 weeks. This new feature allows for consistency in schedules for clients and staff, provides predictable schedules for upcoming sessions, and reduces the effort of schedulers having to recur schedules within the calendar. Each release will include an increase in recurrence time as this feature is enhanced.

New 837 Fields

To support billing requirements for various payors, new fields have been added to the 837 file and will automatically populate from client authorizations when creating new claims. These fields will improve efficiency and accuracy in billing and reduce manual entry and claim denials:

In the Accepted Insurances screen, users can now enter values for both G2 or LU fields when setting up a payor.
A new tab “Authorization Claim Settings” has been added to the Global Authorization Settings modal. This new tab allows users to input EPSDT referral and contract type codes, an open text field for reference identification, and G2 and LU fields. Please note, the Authorization Claim Settings will override settings in the Accepted Insurances screen.

When generating 837 files, new fields “EPSDT Referral,” “Contract Type Code,” and “Reference Identification” have been added to the claim details for billers requiring a specific reason code. If there are no values, information will be retrieved from the Global Authorization Settings. These fields will not copy over from the original claim when generating a secondary claim.

Improved Combined Lines Payment Posting

Based on user feedback, patient responsibility adjustments will now distribute into combined lines when selected during reconciling, improving accuracy and efficiency. This new logic will save time and resources and eliminate manual workarounds. All combined billing entries in the ERA List are now displayed in “time worked descending” order (last service at the top and first service at the bottom).

The following exclusions apply:

Negative Payments
If the service line is a currently copied manual payment or adjustment
If the service is associated to an existing voided billing entry
Organization has agreed rates turned OFF

Payor Indicator on ERA Screen

For a more intuitive and efficient user experience, icons representing active secondary and/or tertiary payors display by selecting the “Actions” button next to client names on the ERA Payment screen. These new icons improve efficiency and accuracy of reconciliation, save time and resources, and improve overall financial performance.

Billing Cube Updates

The Billing cube will now only contain data from the last 3 years. The following unused fields have been removed to optimize performance:

Table Name	Column Name
Client	ClientAvailability, ClientPayorPlan, ClientPrincipal, RowModifiedAt
Client Meta Data	Client Meta Data Deleted by Contact ID, Client Meta Data Deleted Date, RowModifiedAt
Invoice	RowModifiedAt
Payor Authorization	Allow Over Bill Amount Total, Allow Over Bill Hours, Allow Over Bill Hours Total, Allow Over Bill Units, Allow Over Bill Units Total, Allow Over Bill Visits, Allow Over Bill Visits Total, Auth Accepted Frequency, Auth Accepted Hours, Auth Created By, Auth Insurance ID, RowModifiedAt

The following column names have been corrected:

Table Name	Current Column Name	Corrected Column Name
Invoice	InvoiceIsVisibleToClient	Invoice Is Visible To Client
Payor Plan	PayorPlanAddress1, PayorPlanAddress2, PayorPlanStateProvince, PayorPlanZipPostalCode	Payor Plan Address 1, Payor Plan Address 2, Payor Plan State Province, Payor Plan Zip Postal Code

TimeBilling	TimeBilling Servic ePosta lCode, TimeBillingIsLocked, TimeBillingTimeZone, TimeBillingTimezoneOffset	TimeBilling Service Postal Code, TimeBilling Is Locked, TimeBilling Timezone, TimeBilling Timezone Offset

Other Updates

The issue causing blank pages to display when selecting files has been resolved. Users can now view files, as expected.
Commas can no longer be added to credentials in the Basics section of user profiles. If commas are added, an error message will display to notify users the credentials cannot be saved.

Starting and Ending a Session in CR Mobile

9.2

Release Recap

The 9.2 release introduces the Client Import, allowing users to select client Contact Forms to import client contacts. It also includes new ERA filters, new permissions, CR ScheduleAI features, two new Clinical Advanced Business Intelligence (ABI) dashboards, and updates to the Employee & Generic Import.

The following new features and functionality have been released in CentralReach:

Introducing the Client Import

Introducing CentralReach’s Client Import, an important new tool for the Client Intake team, which automates the process of importing clients using Contact Forms and updating existing client information. The Client Import is located in the Imports section of the Files module. Click here for the Client Import user guide.

Users with the appropriate permissions can batch import clients by downloading and completing CentralReach’s CSV template with the appropriate columns and headers.
A new field, “External System ID,” has been added to client profiles to store IDs from third-party vendors.
- The External System ID or Client ID fields are used to match information for existing clients.
  - If an ID is not found or provided, the system will search for an External System ID. If there is neither, the client’s first name, last name, and date of birth are searched for. If successful, the existing client’s information is updated.
  - If there is no match, an active Contact Form is used to add the contact as a new ACTIVE client.
    - The Contact Form List Export, located under the Practice Auditing section of the Insights module allows users to export a list of Contact Forms to help with importing new contacts.
Any contact added via the Client Import will automatically be added via a Contact Form. This follows the same process as if the client was added manually in CentralReach. For example, the Contact Form automates labeling and connections to other providers, schedulers, and admins. Contacts can be assigned to permission groups and service codes, eliminating manual profile connections.
Clients’ payor information can be added or updated via the Client Import. Matching is required in order to find the correct payor listed in organizations’ Accepted Insurances (the exact name is required). The payor name is an optional field, however, if the name is sent via the import, there are corresponding primary and secondary fields that need to be sent. An “Accepted Insurances” export is available under the Insights module.
- Please note, payor and plan names can only be updated via the import. Deleting, removing, or making a payor inactive should manually be done in the UI.
An “Import History” section contains a log of contact names and rows that have failed during an import.
When a new client is imported or an existing client is updated, activity is added to the History section of the client’s profile for users to verify import details and which Contact Form was used.
A Client Import audit file for organizations is located under the “Client Management” section of the Insights module. It is recommended to export this file and make any changes required in order to update the existing client profile.

The HR team should note the deprecation of the “Import Employees” section.

The “Import Employees” section located in the Contacts module’s Utilities & Tools has been deprecated with the availability of the new Employee & Generic Import in the Files module.

Contacts Changes

The following login changes impact all CR users.

“Forgot Password” and “First Time User” are now separate buttons on the login page. New users can now choose “First Time User” on the login screen where they will be prompted to select their desired application and enter an email address. If the user exists within CentralReach, they will receive a “Set up your CentralReach Account” email instead of the previous “Verify your linked account” email.
- Please note, users in “Pending Migration” must migrate via email using the “First Time User” workflow.
Users are now prompted to sign in with an email address and password. New users should select “First Time User” to set up their account. Users who have not migrated since the implementation of SSO will need to do so using their email and the “First Time User” option.
Birth dates are no longer a required field to make contacts users in CentralReach.
Birth dates have been removed as a requirement from custom Contact Forms. Users can remove the “Birth Date” field or make it optional via “Available Fields”.
A new permission, (Contacts > View History), has been added to the Contacts section of the Permissions module and allows users to view other users’ activities within their network. Please note, users cannot view changes made by the organization account.

Logging into CR with SSO for New Users

Billing Module Updates

Billers should note that a new permission has been added and an existing permission has been changed.

The (Billing > Manage Payments) permission name has been changed to (Billing > Manage Payments Posting). This permission allows users to post payments for cash, check, credit card, electronic, sales adjustments, invoiced, and activity payment types.
A new permission (Billing > Manage Payments Posting Override) has been added to the Billing section of the Permissions module. This permission allows users to void payments, post bad debt, credit memo, and refund payments.
- Please note, if users previously had the (Billing > Manage Payments) permission, the (Billing > Manage Payment Posting) and (Billing > Manage Payments Overrides) permissions will automatically be enabled.

Claims Module Updates and Fixes

Billers can now utilize new ERA filters and features.

The following new filters have been added to the ERA Payments screen.

Users can now search for specific client names in an ERA to review payments.
An “Orphaned Claim/Service” filter has been added under “Claims” for users to filter by orphaned claims or services within an ERA.
- Select “Yes” to display orphaned claims and services.
- Select “No” to display claims that are not orphaned or do not contain orphaned service lines.
An “Auto Reconciliation Status” filter has been added under “Reconciliation” for users to filter claims within ERAs by auto reconciliation status. The following statuses can be selected:
- Complete
- Combined Service
- Mismatch Service
- Orphaned Claim
- Orphaned Service
- Void Billing Entry
- Unbalanced Amount
A “Reconciled” filter has been added under “Reconciliation” for users to filter claims within ERAs by Reconciled if a claim has already been reconciled.
- Select “Yes” if the claim has been reconciled.
- Select “No” if the claim has not been reconciled.
A “Payer” filter has been added under Claims for users to filter by clients’ primary or secondary insurance within an ERA.
- Users can search for specific payors by entering payor names in the search bar below the Primary or Secondary options.
- Users can also select a specific group code in the “Group” drop-down under the Search payers search bar. The following are group options:
  - CO: Contractual Obligations
  - CR: Correction and Reversals
  - OA: Other Adjustments
  - PI: Payor Initiated Reductions
  - PR: Patient Responsibility
Users can now search for claim IDs in the “Claim ID(s)” field in the ERA Payments screen.
After selecting an ERA and scrolling down the Payments screen, the column headers will now stay at the top of the screen.
The font on the ERA Payments screen has been reverted to the original font to allow for easier readability when zooming in or out of the page.
For Arizona Medicaid payors, the “Box 19” checkbox has been added to the Bulk merge claims screen. Claims will now auto-populate NPI numbers and providers’ first and last names from clients’ Claim Settings to Box 19.

How to Post Orphaned ERA Data in CentralReach

New Advanced Business Reports and Other Insights Module Updates

Clinical directors should note the deprecation of fields in the Scheduling cube, as well as two new Advanced Business Intelligence (ABI) dashboards.

A new dashboard, “Client Trial Activity in Clinical Sessions,” has been added to the Clinical Analysis folder of the Insights module. The Client Trial Activity in Clinical Sessions dashboard focuses on client trial activity within sessions. Trial activity is based on a ratio of the average number of trials in clinical sessions divided by session hours. This dashboard includes data from all sessions within the last 6 months.
A new dashboard, “Provider Trial Activity in Clinical Sessions,” has been added to the Clinical Analysis folder of the Insights module. The Provider Trial Activity in Clinical Sessions dashboard focuses on provider trial activity within sessions. Trial activity is based on a ratio of the average number of trials in sessions divided by session hours. This dashboard includes data from all sessions within the last 6 months.
For enhanced performance, the “Scheduling” Data Source now only includes data from 13 months prior to the date of viewing.
- Please note, the following dashboards are affected:
  - The Cancellation Analysis Report
  - The Demographics Report
  - Scheduling data in The Practice Summary Report
The following fields have been removed from the Scheduling cube:

- Scheduling Segment Position
- Client Principal
  - From the Client table
- Client Availability
  - From the Client table

  - From the Provider table
- Provider Availability
  - From the Provider table
An “Add Rich Text” option has been added to dashboards, for users to add custom text for descriptions and instructions. This feature is located along with the Print PDF, Publish Changes, Duplicate, and Delete options.
When duplicating a dashboard, the issue interfering with the dashboard’s format has been resolved. Duplicated dashboards will now match the original dashboard’s format.
After giving employees access to a report, the new employee will now be displayed in the list of users and access levels for other users will remain the same, as expected.

New CR ScheduleAI Features and Scheduling Module Updates

Schedulers can now include generics and view non-billable travel time in CR ScheduleAI.

Non-billable travel time via CR ScheduleAI is now visible in users’ draft schedules and can be published to the provider’s calendar.
Users can now include active generics when creating schedules in CR ScheduleAI.
- If selected, these generics will be visible in the draft schedule and the “download preview” CSV export.
- Active generics are published to the schedule with the appropriate service code.
The issue adding or removing a user calendar on the left-hand panel list of View My Calendar has been fixed.

Clinical Admins and BCBAs can now create custom titles for Session Note Templates.

The “Last Login” column in the Contacts grid now contains the actual date the user last logged into CentralReach (i.e., mm/dd/yyyy).
After converting employees to generic contacts, users can no longer log into CentralReach. The employee’s SSO status will automatically change to “Contact”.

Billing Module Updates

A new permission (Billing > Override Authorization) has been added to the Billing section of the Permissions module. This permission has been separated from the (Billing > Manage Timesheets) permission and allows users to override timesheet authorization validation restrictions.
- Please note:
  - This will automatically be enabled for users that had the (Billing > Manage Timesheets) permission. To remove, please update user permissions accordingly.
  - This permission is separate from allowing overbilling in authorizations. Users with this permission can always override the authorization validation.

After selecting the “condensed” view, there is less space between hours and the smallest event is 30 minutes or less.
- If a user selects “Condensed” or the “Expanded” view and navigates away from the calendar, the selected view will stay upon returning to the calendar.

New Advanced Business Reports and Other Insights Module Updates

The “Timesheet Timeliness Report” is located in the Staff Management folder of the Insights module. This report focuses on the time it takes to convert an appointment to a billing entry and uses > 48 hours as an indicator of tardiness. This provides insight into how fast appointments are converted into billable assets. Please note, this report is only available with an Advanced Business Intelligence (ABI) subscription.

Clinical Updates

8.10

Release Recap

The 8.10 release introduces the Employee & Generic Import and new fields in custom Contact Forms. It also includes updates made to claims, scheduling, and VB-MAPP assessments.

The following new features and functionality have been released in CentralReach:

Introducing the Employee & Generic Import

The Employee Import has been renamed the Employee & Generic Import, allowing users to select generic Contact Forms to import generic contacts. The Employee & Generic Import is located in the Imports section of the Files module. Click here for the Employee & Generic Import user guide.

When importing employees, the following fields now populate in the Payroll section of the Human Resources module:
- Payroll Company
- Payroll Employee #
- Department
- Date of Hire
The External System ID and primary email address are now used to match information for existing employees and generics.
- If matching is successful, employee and generic information is updated.
- If there is no match, a Contact Form is used to add the contact as a new employee or generic contact, depending on the type of Contact Form. Employees will automatically be activated and incur a monthly charge.
If a client or archived custom Contact Form was selected to import a new employee or generic profiles, the row will be rejected and “The Contact Form is invalid” error message will display.
The “BHPNId” for Rendering providers has been added to the Employee & Generic Import CSV template.

The new, optional “Chosen/Preferred Name” field allows users to add their preferred name to the Basics section of their profiles. If completed, the “Chosen/Preferred Name” will display in the user’s face sheet, instead of the user’s legal name. The “Chosen/Preferred Name” displays in the following screens:
- The user’s face sheet
- The logged-in user’s username in the upper right-hand corner
- Other users’ profiles in the Contacts module
- In the Contacts module grid, under the new “Chosen/Preferred Name” column
To better differentiate between given and chosen names, the new “Legal Name” field displays in users’ face sheets, based on users’ full names within the Basics section of their profiles.

New Custom Contact Form Enhancements

For faster navigation and accessibility, the custom Contact Forms screen has been redesigned. Users can now complete the following actions in the custom Contact Forms screen:
- Search through active and archived custom Contact Forms using the new “Form status” drop-down.

Three new buttons have been added to the “Details” tab of custom Contact forms, allowing users with the (Utilities > Manage Organization Forms) permission enabled to duplicate, archive, and recover custom Contact Forms.
- The “Duplicate” button allows users to duplicate active custom Contact Forms. Duplicate custom Contact Forms will carry over all settings and fields from the parent custom Contact Form.
- The “Archive” button allows users to archive custom Contact Forms. Users can view archived custom Contact Forms in the organization’s “Archived” folder, but cannot edit them.
- Archived custom Contact Forms can be recovered using the “Recover” button. Recovered Contact Forms can be duplicated, edited, and archived again.
Contacts created via Contact Forms without the “Send email with login information” checkbox selected now display the “Contact” SSO status in the Basics section of profiles as expected.
For contacts created via custom Contact Forms with office locations, the issue displaying previously deleted office locations in the Contacts module grid has been resolved.

New VB-Mapp Features

The new “VB-Mapp” report allows users to export CSV files of clients’ VB-Mapp assessment data.
To better distinguish between zero scores and skipped sections, the bubbles in VB-Mapp scoring grids are now filled in when all answers in a section have a score of zero.
When scoring assessments, the VB-Mapp assessment screen has been enhanced to increase visibility of the scoring guide.
Users can now view the “% complete” from the “VB-Mapp Assessment” grid. Users no longer need to select an assessment to view the percentage complete.
To help distinguish assessments, the year has been added to the “Assessment date” in the Assessment grid.
Improvements related to load time have been made to the Goals List in the Learn module.

How to Download the VB-MAPP Report

The calendar has been redesigned for increased accessibility and visibility of employee and client events.
When viewing calendars in the Day Planner, availability for all contact types display as expected.
When exporting the Attendance report as a CSV file, the issue duplicating clients has been resolved.

7.7

Release Recap

The 7.7 release introduces Single Sign On (SSO), streamlining the login experience for CentralReach users. Currently, SSO is only available for the CentralReach platform, Client Portal, and CR Mobile. However, in subsequent releases users will be able to gain access to all connected platforms by signing in once. SSO can also be used along with Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), for added security to CentralReach accounts. If you are linking multiple CR Accounts using the same email, click here.

The following new features and functionality have been released in CentralReach:

Introducing Single Sign On (SSO), a more efficient way to sign into CentralReach, CR Mobile, and the Client Portal. The following new features and updates have been released with SSO:
- All users, providers/employees, clients, and generics will experience the same login experience and email validation process. Users need to have access to the “Primary Email” listed in their CentralReach account and will validate that email address prior to signing in.
  - Network Providers are not affected by SSO, but will need to go through the “Forgot Password / First Time User” workflow in the login page to set a password in SSO and access their accounts.
  - Once the email address has been validated, that email is registered to the users’ SSO account. If a user needs to change their email address, they will need to go through the validation process again.
    - When changing their email address, users will be notified if it is registered to another account.
  - Users can now convert contacts that do not have access to CentralReach, by selecting “Convert to User” in the Basics section of their Profile. Please note, contacts need to have a primary email and date of birth in order to be converted to a user.
  - The “Login & Access” section can only be viewed by the account owner. However, users can view login activity in the Contacts module, by adding that column to the grid. Login & Access now also directs users to their SSO settings, to manage:
    - Basic Information: includes the email address, display name, profile image, time zone, and locale.
      - Users can modify their email addresses in this section.
      - Please note, only users with the following permissions can edit contacts’ first and last names:
        
        (Contacts > Manage Own Basic Info): modify their own first and last names.
        
        (Contacts > Manage Employees): modify other users’ first and last names.
        
        Client-Admin level: modify clients’ first and last names.
    - Security: contains the current account password and a “Password” field for users to change their passwords. Users can enable Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) if their organization does not require it.
    - The organization account has the following additional SSO settings:
      - Company Information: includes the organization name, time zone, locale, and date format.
      - Security Settings: password expiration and session timeout can be adjusted for all users. Organizations can also enable and disable MFA.
        
        Password expiration: 15 days, 30 days, 45 days, 60 days, 90 days, or 180 days.
        
        Session timeout: 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 45 minutes, 60 minutes, or 120 minutes.
      - Manage Users: search for users that have validated their email address and view their profile settings. Organizations can enable and disable MFA for individual users.
  - Please note, editing SSO settings will not sync with users’ CentralReach accounts. Therefore, editing the profile image and display name will only update SSO credentials and will not change in the CentralReach profile.
- When users forgets their CentralReach password and are locked out, they can now reset the account password, instead of contacting an account administrator.
- The “Birth Date” and “Primary Email” fields are now automatically added to contact forms. If the “Send Welcome Email” checkbox is selected, the Birth Date and Primary Email fields are required when creating a new contact with access to CentralReach.
- SSO has also been added to the Client Portal. Clients will experience the same login process and can enable MFA. If more than one user, such as a parent/guardian, is signing into the Client Portal, both users should have access to the email address listed in the client’s Profile.
- Single Sign On (SSO) provides the option for organizations and individual users to enable Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) to CentralReach accounts. CentralReach’s current Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) feature is no longer available. MFA adds an extra layer of security by requiring an authenticator application or access to the validated email address when logging in. Upon logging in, users will be required to input a security code sent via an authenticator application or email.
  - Users will experience the MFA login process every time they sign out and then into their CentralReach or CR Mobile account.

CR Mobile (v.1.0) Application

CR Mobile is CentralReach’s Electronic Visit Verification (EVV) compliant application for providers to collect data, review scheduled appointments, and access clients’ data sheets. The new “Draft Timesheets” feature works in conjunction with CR Mobile.

For CR Mobile users, a “CR Mobile” section has been added to the Permissions module, along with the following permissions:
- The (Access) permission allows users to access CR Mobile.
- The (Provider Signatures) permission allows providers to capture their signatures after completing a session.
- Please note, these permissions need to be enabled in order for users to access the application.
Users can complete appointments, which will automatically create a timesheet in CentralReach if no additional requirements are needed. If additional requirements are needed, a “draft timesheet” will be created.
If enabled, Electronic Visit Verification (EVV) will collect providers’ locations during services. An error will show on a draft timesheet if the appointment’s location differs from the scheduled Place of Service.
The following CR Mobile modules allow providers to view scheduled appointments and clients’ data:
- The Schedule module contains past, present, and future scheduled client appointments.
- The Sessions module contains clients’ data and non-data collection branches for tracking skill acquisition and behavior reduction goals. Providers can also use Chained TAs and minimum trial requirements.
