Improved Flexibility in Adding Modifiers to UM Service Codes: We enhanced the modifier selection process for services on UM requests. With this release, you can now add either CPT or HCPCS modifiers to both CPT and HCPCS service type codes on UM requests. This increased flexibility ensures accurate coding, regardless of how you are entering the service (UI, API, Batch processes, or Provider Portal).
Improved Member and Provider Search Functionality: We've enhanced the search functionality for members and providers, making it easier to find records using names. The system now uses:
Full Match (1-2 characters): When searching by first name, last name, or name, entering just 1 or 2 characters will return only exact matches. This is ideal for short names.
Partial Match (3+ characters): Entering 3 or more characters will return records that contain the search term.
ID/Other Fields (3+ characters): When searching by any ID or other field, users must enter a minimum of 3 characters to initiate the search.
Custom Fields Added to UM Request Services: We added the ability to configure custom fields at the individual service level within UM requests. This allows you to track more specific information for each service rendered. View and update these custom fields directly on the View Request page, under each service's details. Use the pencil icon to edit values or expand the section to view all custom fields.
Add the Same Service Multiple Times on a UM Request: We enhanced the UM request creation process to allow you to add the same service code multiple times within a single stage (either the initial request or an extension). This provides increased flexibility for requests where the same service is needed in varying quantities or frequencies.

We improved the system's Turnaround Time (TAT) rule management to provide greater transparency and control over TAT calculations, helping you ensure accurate tracking and compliance.\ The system now provides a warning message when a user attempts to change the status reason of a request to a value that is configured to pause the TAT clock.\ If a TAT rule has been configured to pause the turnaround time when a specific status reason is selected, the following occurs:

Cancellation Option: You will have the option to cancel the change if you do not want to pause the TAT.
