PC Print Plus Archive Instructions

1. When you first download PC Print Plus, the 'Auto Archive' option on the preference bar is selected. This means that when you load an ERA file in PC Print Plus it is automatically archived. You will get a message saying 'ERA archived'. The Preference bar is shown below:

   

2. The next step is to 'VIEW' the archived information. To do so either click on this button on the Toolbar, or select the 'View Archive' option from the Archive Menu shown below.

   

   This will take you to a form where you can select the 'ERA date' or date range that you want to view the information for.

3. Next you can 'GENERATE REPORTS' for the archived ERA's either by clicking on this button on the Toolbar, or by selecting the 'Report Options' from the Archive Menu, and 'Reports Form' from the sub-menu.

   This will take you to the 'PS&R' reports form. You can now select the 'Patient Type' (Inpatient, Outpatient, or Both) and the 'Reports available for each patient type' (e.g.: Revenue Codes Summary (Inpatient), APC / HCPCS reports (Outpatient), Type of Bill Summary (Both) ). You can select the 'Provider #' and the 'Date Range' that you would like to create the reports for.

   You can also select the format in which you would like to see the report. You can either 'Preview' the report or View as a Text (.txt) or Word (.doc) document. You also have the option of saving the .txt and .doc files on your computer.

4. You have a set of 'Archive Options' available to you. You can access them through the 'Archive Menu' by selecting 'Archive Options'.

   
   • Here you can 'DELETE an ERA' from the archive by clicking on the 'Purge ERA' button after selecting the ERA date.
   • You can 'Browse/View an ERA' by clicking on the 'Browse ERA' button.
   • If you would like to view a particular ERA in the main PC Print Plus screen, you can do that by selecting the ERA date and clicking on the 'UnArchive' button.
   • You also have the option of personalizing the Revenue codes descriptions in your reports by clicking the 'Edit Rev. Codes' button.

5. Back-Up Archive: Allows you to back-up your archived data before downloading a new update.

6. Recover Archive: Permits you to recover your archived data since the previous back-up.

7. Archive ERA Folder: Provides an easy way to load multiple files in the archive together.

Note:You can disable the 'Auto-Archive' option and manually archive an ERA after loading it by either clicking this button on the Toolbar, or by selecting the 'Archive ERA' option from the Archive Menu. After this the rest of the process of Viewing the archive and generating reports is the same as described above.
