March 2024 Release Notes

Kipu RCM/AveaOffice March 2024 Release Highlights 

Uncover the latest advancements designed to optimize your billing and collection processes. We're eager to demonstrate how these updates can enhance your efficiency and financial performance.

Payment Posting Enhancement 

The updated insurance payment dialog now lets you select a practice once for all postings, with an "All" option for checks covering multiple practices—simplifying the process. 

SCA Added to Payments 

In the payment posting process, users can now see the Expected Amount, reflecting the SCA (Single Case Agreement) or contracted rates, right within the payment creation dialogue for each claim. 

Bulk Download Claim EDI 

Users can bulk download individual claim EDI files from the batch screen, rather than downloading the entire batch—great for individual claims to county payers.
