MacPractice has the built-in capability to help track the timely filing limits for your insurance companies, and alert you when outstanding claims begin to approach the timely filing limits.

Configuration

Before you can start tracking timely filing limits, you must first enter the timely filing information under the insurance references. To do this, go to References and select Insurance Companies in the sidebar. Click the triangle to the left of the node to expand it, then select the insurance company you wish to work with. Under the Claims tab, you will see a Timely Filing Limit (Days) field.

...

If the claim has not yet reached the Timely Filing limit set in the insurance reference, you will see a positive number in the Days Until Overdue column. This indicates the number of days until the Timely Filing limit is reached. 

If the Days Until Overdue number is greater than the alert period set in preferences, the claims will be displayed normally -- black text on a white background. If the Days Until Overdue is within the alert period, but not yet overdue, the claim will be shown with a light red (pink) highlight (outline in the Outstanding Claims reports).
If the claim has passed the timely filing limit -- that is, the oldest procedure date on the claim is outside the timely filing limit set on the insurance reference -- the Days Until Overdue will show a negative number, and the claim will be shown with a red highlight (outline in the Outstanding Claims reports).
