Are fund details updated automatically?
No. Funds are not updated by AA staff in the Web Update process.
When the software is installed, a default list of health fund details is included in the Addresses lookup table. Because the table can be used to store any type of user-defined address, we decided to make the table entirely managed by the individual user. This was to prevent having custom data overwritten by updates from AA staff.
Consequently, if a new health fund is established, it is up to the individual user to add this to the lookup table if they wish to use it. This is a simple process, as follows:
1. | Click Tools > Edit lookup tables > Addresses. |
2. | Click the <New> button and complete the details for the new fund. |
3. | Near the bottom, select the fee schedule to be used with the new fund. |
4. | Finally, select an Eclipse code, if required. If the fund is quite new, you may need to update the list of Eclipse codes using this procedure. |
