FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS - FAQs

“Q” - I am getting “ < ERROR DETECTED ON OPEN -- PROV-FILE “ when I start the PC Pricer.

“A” – This is usually caused by down loading the Pricer into the wrong folder name. The folder name (?:\INPPRC131) 
is used for version control and is hard coded into the pricing logic. The Pricer can’t find the provider file if it 
isn’t in a folder named “?:\INPPRC131” where “?” is the “Drive Letter” where the Pricer was loaded. The Pricer will 
work on different drives as long as the folder name is left as it is in the auto extract process.

•	Unable to update provider records and save the information.  A message of SPECIAL PAY IND Y,N,1,2 ONLY after 
selecting update.  (Note: I believe that this is coming up because of the Pricer missing or needing more updated VBP 
and readmission factors.)

•	When this occurs an “N” must be entered in the SPECIAL PAY IND field if no other value is warranted.
