Availability

These enhancements are globally available, but reports will be assigned to customers upon request.

• Claims Validation Error Messaging Improvements

  We’ve improved the Claims Validation Processor to provide clearer and more consistent error messages when a claim contains multiple validation issues. The system now returns the most relevant and actionable error, helping customers quickly understand what needs to be fixed and reducing troubleshooting time.

• Enhanced Error Messaging for Nevada MCOs

  We’ve improved error messaging in the Aggregator application for Nevada Managed Care Organizations (MCOs). The Procedure Code Not Found message is now configurable and defaults to a clearer explanation, helping users better understand when verified visits cannot be matched to a procedure code and date range.

• Improved Claims Validation Error Messaging

  We’ve enhanced the Claims Validation Processor to deliver clearer and more consistent error messages when a claim contains multiple validation issues. Previously, users could receive different error messages for the same issue, which caused confusion and additional troubleshooting.

  What’s Changed:

  • When a claim fails validation due to multiple issues (for example, a missing or invalid Document Locator Number (DLN)), the system now consistently returns the most relevant and actionable error message.

  • This update removes the random selection of error messages, ensuring users always know exactly what needs to be corrected.

• Visit Maintenance – Show Display Options Improvement

  The Show Display Options modal in Visit Maintenance has been updated to correct session handling issues. Users can now save or reset display preferences without being logged out, ensuring changes are applied as expected while remaining in the Visit Maintenance screen.

  What’s Changed:

  • Open Show Display Options

  • Update display preferences and click Save, or

  • Click Reset to revert to default settings

• Accessibility Improvements – Provider Portal Landing Page

  The Provider Portal landing page has been updated to improve accessibility for screen reader and assistive technology users. Informative images and icons now include meaningful alternative text, decorative images are properly ignored by screen readers, and semantic page structure—including a clear first‑level heading—has been implemented. These enhancements align with ADA and W3C standards, making the portal more accessible and user‑friendly for all users.

• Accessibility Improvements – Success Registration Page

  The Provider Portal Success Registration page has been updated to improve accessibility for screen reader and assistive technology users. Semantic page regions and meaningful alternative text for informative images have been added, while decorative images are properly ignored by screen readers. These enhancements align with ADA and W3C standards, making the registration experience more accessible and user‑friendly.

• Accessibility Improvements – Intake Page

  The Provider Portal Intake page has been enhanced to fully support screen readers and assistive technologies. Updates include meaningful alternative text for images and icons, properly labeled form fields, logical heading structure, and accessible interactive elements. These improvements align with ADA and W3C standards, creating a more inclusive and user‑friendly experience for all users.

• Accessibility Improvements – Provider Registration Page

  The Provider Portal Provider Registration page has been enhanced to improve accessibility for screen reader and assistive technology users. Updates include logical heading order, added semantic page regions, and clear, accessible labels for all form fields. These improvements make registration easier to navigate and align with ADA and W3C accessibility standards.

• Improved Visibility and Tracking of Scheduled Client Status Changes

  The Client Program experience has been enhanced to clearly display future‑dated status changes. Users can now see upcoming status changes directly on the Program tab, with the Program Details modal explicitly calling out scheduled updates to reduce surprises and support informed decision‑making. Additionally, the History modal now provides a complete audit trail, including when a future status was scheduled, any overrides or removals, and when the system automatically applied the change—reducing confusion and improving transparency and tracking of client status updates.

• Employee Screen Fixes – Deactivation Date and Layout

  An issue has been resolved on the Employee screen where an invalid deactivation date (“01/01/0001”) could appear when no future schedule existed. The system now displays only valid, meaningful dates, leaving the field blank when no date applies. Additionally, the Close and Edit Agency Designations buttons have been realigned to prevent overlap, improving clarity and usability without changing functionality.

System Monitoring Enhancement Update: We recently moved our monitoring tools from one platform to another. During this transition, a temporary issue was identified in one of our non‑production environments and has now been resolved.
