Provider update: August 3, 2020

To:  ADvantage Case Management Providers

Subject:  Standard Naming Convention

Date:  August 3, 2020

This document is provided to serve as a guide for Case Managers on how to properly label documentation within the Harmony system and will be updated as processes and/or requirements change (agencies will be notified at the time that any changes are made). Following this guide (steps provided) should prevent service conditions and authorization delays. This guide is a tool for Harmony users and, when followed, should result in timely authorization of services.  The majority of the standardized notes below are Plan specific and will be entered under the Plans tab.  Information not associated with a specific plan will be entered under the Notes tab.

Please utilize the following instructions on how to correctly attach documents to a Harmony Note:

Note: The example shown below is for adding the Service Team Release of Information form (STR).

​1 Look up Member in the Harmony system
​2 Select the ‘Plans’ tab of the Member Record:
​3 Navigate to the appropriate Plan Year and click to open

​4 Select ‘Plan Notes’ :
​5 Hover over ‘File’ and select ‘Add Plan Note’ – complete as follows (see top of following page):
​6 Select ‘Add Attachment’ – this will open something similar to image on the left depending on what type of Internet Browser is being used:
​7 Update the Note Status field to ‘Complete’ once all document have been uploaded and all information has been entered as shown above.

IMPORTANT: 

  1. Only attach documents as PDF files.  Use of other file types such at JPG, TIF or XLS can be difficult to review and can cause significant delays in review time.
  2. Please include the Plan Year in all Notes.  Failure to include the Plan Year causes delays in the review process.  See step 5 above regarding where the Plan Year should be added in the note.
  3. Please include the HCPC code in all Notes.  Failure to include the HCPC causes delays when the reviewer cannot clearly identify what service code change the Case Manager is requesting (e.g. End S5170, Add S5100U1, Increase T1019, Decrease A4927 etc.).
