How do I group totals inside the RA file?


Instructions for combining RA data with MS-Excel for enhanced analysis:

Background: The RA file alone lacks sufficient data for comprehensive analysis across different datasets. However, HYPEMedical provides the capability to merge an RA file with additional data from its billing tables, downloadable as a .csv file. This appended data can be efficiently managed and analyzed using MS Excel.

Requirements: Ensure access to a spreadsheet program such as MS Excel, OpenOffice Calculator, WPS OfficeTools, etc., installed.

Steps for Grouping RA Data with MS-Excel:

  1. Navigate to the desired RA in Claims \ MCEDT Files \ Remittance Advice Files within HYPEMedical.
  2. Hover over the red arrow associated with the RA and select "CSV [All Sections More Columns]."
  3. Download the file, saving it in a location accessible to your spreadsheet program.
  4. Open the downloaded file in a spreadsheet program, such as MS Excel.

Utilizing MS-Excel Features:

  • Sorting: Arrange your data systematically based on specific columns or criteria.
  • Filtering: Easily filter and focus on relevant information using Excel's filtering options.
  • Graphing: Leverage Excel's graphing tools to visually represent and interpret RA data.

Important Note: These instructions presume familiarity with HYPEMedical, access permissions, and the ability to use spreadsheet programs. In case of any queries or challenges, refer to the provided video guide for further assistance.
