Stride Feature Release
October 31, 2024
Create secondary remits against the live/remaining balance
When creating paper remits for secondary or tertiary claims, Stride will now auto-populate the payments and applied adjustments from the previous payers labeled as Prior Adjudication. This update saves a poster's time by reducing the number of clicks and data entry for these remits.
Posters can also now access the claim directly from the draft remit screen by clicking on the date of service.

“Next Payer” column on remit
Each service line on a remit now has a “Next Payer” column. If the patient has a secondary (or tertiary) payer on the claim, then that next payer’s name will show when posting the remit from the previous payer, primary or secondary. Otherwise the Next Payer will be “Patient”. This extra information can help inform you who the next responsible party is or identify if a patient’s secondary payer has not been added.

Ignoring missing secondaries on remits
When posting Medicare remits that are being auto forwarded to secondaries, you can now dismiss the warning that informs you a secondary payer is missing on a given claim. This will allow you to proceed with the posting in the event you do not believe you will be receiving a remit from the secondary. Please use caution utilizing this feature, because the claim and any patient responsibility remaining will be sent directly to the patient.

Bulk Write-off
Claims can now be written off and billed to the patient in bulk. This bulk feature is designed so that you can enter the amount you want to remain on the claim and the system will calculate the appropriate amount to write off. Here are the steps to write-off claims:
- Specify which claims you would like to write off by either manually selecting or filtering
- Choose the adjustment reason code
- Specify the desired remaining balance to keep open on the claims after the write-off

Bulk Bypass
You can now bypass payers on claims in bulk. The act of bypassing a payer is an existing feature that is used to move to the next payer in the sequence without billing directly to the patient. For instance, if you have a claim that is denied by the primary and you would like to bill the claim directly to the secondary without rebilling primary, you would use the bypass feature. This update allows you to perform this action cross claims.

Allow more than 50 for bulk charges
