Automatic batch eligibility
RXNT now offers Batch Eligibility! When enabled, eligibility will be run for all patients with encounters in the Unbilled tab of the Encounters screen overnight, each night.
Click Utilities on the top right side.

Select Yes to Turn On Batch Eligibility.
Click Save.
Note: You will need to log out and back in to ensure the preferences are set.
Navigate to the Encounters screen once eligibility has been enabled.
There is now a Column included for eligibility.
In the eligibility column, the status of the eligibility run is indicated.
The status included the following:
- Un-initiated - This means, the record wasn't a part of any previous eligibility batch check. You can hover over the icon to see the tooltip.
- Success - This means, the eligibility run is complete and the report is available for viewing.
- System Error - This means, eligibility could not run because of a system error. You can hover over the icon to see the tooltip.
- In Progress - This means, the eligibility check is in progress.
- Error - On hover, you'll see a tooltip with comma-separated validations listed.
Click View Batch Report to view the report links for every record with a successful eligibility check. The pop-up can be printed in PDF format.
You can manually run an eligibility check from the encounters tab by clicking the Run Batch Eligibility button.
You will get a pop-up confirmation asking "Are you sure you want to run eligibility? Eligibility will run for all encounters in the Unbilled - Review tab."
