New version of Business Manager released

Friday, Jun 2, 2006 - 11:29:35 AM

Yesterday, we identified a problem with ERA (835) reconciliation.  As a result of some system optimizations, certain ERA records would not be correctly processed, mis-identifying the patients whose claims were being paid or denied.  The new update to Business Manager, version 1.37.2343.30120, prevents these potential mis-identification problems.

We have also changed all installers to correctly deploy Microsoft Windows Installer v3.1.  This should prevent users without this version of the installer on their systems from receiving an error during the initial application setup.
