The changes required to post the Sequestration amount are now available in FastEMC. If you are posting Medicare Payments it will make it much easier to apply the correct EOB amounts. Since the 2% Sequestration amount is taken from the Payment Side it was not easy to make the right postings.
Medicare Allows = Insurance Payment + Deductible + Seqestration Disallow + Co Insurance
Deducting an Disallow Amount from the payment was not built into the calculations making it impossible to post properly.
FINAL NOTE: The Sequestration Disallow can not be passed on to the Co-Insurance or Patient.
