This article lists the latest Audit and features for the IVR systems - some features are not available in all systems -
Acct#, Acct# entered
This particular one indicates that the caller has made it to this menu. When the caller enters an account number, it will be displayed in the audit trail exactly what was keyed in.
"Match" and "No Match"
After the value is entered and determined to be right or wrong and a Match or No Match is displayed.
NO-PATIENT-FOUND (Epic only)
When we use "GetBillingPatientFromGuarantor" and we receive this error:
If we pull the "NO-PATIENT-FOUND" error, it means the the guarantor # is valid, but we can't proceed on the IVR.
I suggest we repeat the digits entered, just to verify that the caller typed in the correct Guarantor #.
"You entered (repeat digits). Press 1 if this is correct, or press 2 to re-enter your Guarantor Account."
If they press 1, then we say "We apologize, but you will need to talk with an agent to discuss or pay your account" (or whatever language you would like)
Then we offer them a transfer to the billing office (or if after hours, the phone # and office hours to call back)
If they press 2, then they get to re-enter their Guarantor #.
Person identified
In cases where the caller enters a full Account or Guarantor # and it matches one unique Guarantor or Account number (mostly just for Epic Web Services IVRs), this is used after the match is made.
DOB
This means that the caller typed in a date of birth (DOB).
AuthDOB
This means the caller successfully authenticated using their DOB.

The caller successfully authenticated using the last 4 of their SSN. (Not an option on all IVRs)

The caller successfully authenticated using a phone number associated with the Guarantor Account. (Not an option on all IVRs.)
BadDebt (not on all IVRs)
SPECIAL CASE: When the "PatientBalance" field is missing altogether from the result of "Get Patient Billing Details" (not zero, but missing). Or if the Guarantor ID is missing from the response as well, then we we say something like: "Your balance is currently with our collection agency (agency name), please call (phone #) to reach them weekdays 9am to 5pm" and set this audit code "BadDebt" into the audit trail.
guar bal(x.x)
The current statement balance for this guarantor is $x.x.
If the guarantor does not have a payment plan in place, this balance is their total "Patient Balance" due.
If the guarantor does have a payment plan in place, this balance is their current statement balance based on their monthly payment plan amount.
pp tot bal(y.y)
