Issues With This Cycle
Both Breast and Cervical Cancer Screening Cycle Data screens have an option for data entry staff to “Check Data” prior to submission. When the Check Data button is clicked, three types of errors may be detected.
- Warnings
- Case Management Errors
- Save Errors
All warnings, “Case Management” errors, and “Save Errors” will be listed in the Issues With This Cycle box that will appear at the top of the Breast and Cervical Cancer Screening Cycle forms if there are errors. A cycle with “Case Management” errors may be submitted, but the cycle will appear in the navigation bar with an exclamation (
) next to it. CM fee is not paid for the recipient until all errors are resolved. Once errors are resolved, the exclamation (
) will no longer appear next to that cycle record in the left column navigation bar.
A cycle cannot be saved if any “Save Errors” are detected. These errors must be resolved before the record can be submitted.
