CollaborateMD: Kipu EMR + CMD Integration Data Tables

  • Updated

The following tables contain information on the Kipu EMR + CollaborateMD RCM integrated fields including the source of truth for each item. 

Patient Information

Patient demographic information is only transmitted to CollaborateMD when the Send to CollaborateMD button is clicked in the External Apps section of the patient's facesheet. Patient Information is one-directional (from EMR to CollaborateMD), so the EMR will be the source of truth for patient demographic information, and any updates needed should be made in the EMR and sent to CollaborateMD.

Discharged Patients: It's crucial when a patient is discharged and the discharge date is added to the facesheet that the Discharge info is sent to CollaborateMD using the Send to CollaborateMD button.

Insurance Plans

Insurance information is added directly to the Kipu EMR by clicking the Edit Client button on the patient facesheet. The integration for insurance information flows from the EMR to CollaborateMD, which means the EMR is the source of truth for most insurance information unless otherwise specified. This information is then added into two places within CollaborateMD, the Patient and the Claim section, depending on which HL7 message you’re sending. Changes to insurance for existing claims must be updated manually.

  • ADT: When transmitting patient demographics, the demographics below will only be updated in one place, the Patient section. This means, existing claims will have to be updated manually. 
  • DFT: When transmitting charges, the following demographics will be updated in two places, the Patient and the Claim section.

Authorizations

Authorizations are added directly into the Kipu EMR by clicking the Add Review or Add Service Review button on the patient facesheet. The integration for Authorization information flows from the EMR to CollaborateMD. So the EMR is the source of truth for authorization information unless otherwise specified. This information is then added into two places within CollaborateMD, the Patient and the Claim section, depending on which HL7 message you’re sending.

Charges

The majority of charge data that appears on the billing audit tool report is transferred to CollaborateMD. This information is used to create charges in CollaborateMD and allows CMD to automatically create claims. 

Because demographic and authorization information (if required) is transferred with the billing audit tool report transmission, you must make sure the patient's profile is complete in the Kipu EMR before submitting charges to CollaborateMD from the Billing Report. 

Data on the Billing Audit Tool Report Transmitted to CollaborateMD? Function
Date of Service Yes Appears on the claim see the Charges > Service Date column. 
Admit Date Yes Only supported for Institutional claims. 
Location Yes Used to match the patient's Facility between EMR and CollaborateMD.
Insurance Yes Used to match the patient's insurance between EMR and CollaborateMD.
Level of Care No  
Codes No The Procedure Codes on the Levels of Care, Evaluations & Group Sessions in the EMR are matched to the Procedure Codes in CollaborateMD.
Modifiers Yes

Modifiers are matched using Payer Rules or they can be assigned manually from the billing audit tool report. 


 

Additionally, they can be added automatically using Situation Modifiers in CollaborateMD or directly from the Claim screen in CollaborateMD. The best practice is to evaluate which method is best for you to help reduce manual entry. 

Units Yes By default, every charge comes into CollaborateMD with a single unit (1) associated with it, unless you create a Payer Rule or manually update the billing audit tool report in the EMR. In addition, configuring Charge Panels or updating the Codes profile in CollaborateMD can allow you to bill more than a single unit (1) where applicable (uncommon). The best practice is to modify the units in the EMR prior to transmission. 
Claim Format Yes This field is defined within the Level of Care or the Evaluation or Group Template. It defines the claim format in CollaborateMD and will determine whether the claim will be billed as Institutional or Professional. This is determined within Kipu. 
Rendering Provider Yes The Rendering Provider configured in the Konnector will be the Rendering Provider sent on most claims. Any charge with a blank Rendering Provider field on the billing audit tool report will automatically use the Konnector Rendering Provider. To bill a different provider as the Rendering Provider, they must be selected as the Rendering Provider on the Template within Kipu or selected on the Billing Report to transmit to CollaborateMD. This is true for both Levels of Care and Ancillary services. If the provider is not present in both places, the charge will not transmit. 
Diagnosis Codes Yes

These are included in the Patient Demographics and will always transfer over. From the billing audit tool report, if applicable, you can reorder and omit selected Diagnosis Codes. However if more than 18 diagnosis codes are present, only the first 18 will be transmitted.

Additionally, HL7 transmissions for DG1 segments will treat the date the diagnosis code was added as the start date using the manage diagnosis codes evaluation workflow.

Place of Service Yes This field is used to assign the correct Place of Service in CollaborateMD. If not selected, the default POS will be used from the Practice or Codes profile. 
Duration Met/Required Duration No This field is not mapped as all services come into CollaborateMD with a single unit. Even if the required duration was not met and the charge was sent to CollaborateMD, the service will be mapped with a single unit. 
Program No  Although this field does not transfer to CollaborateMD. Programs can be defined by enabling Billing by Program which can be used for reporting purposes in CollaborateMD.
