HCFA Form, Effective January 6, 2014

 

Effective version 14.11.19:

In prior software versions for Medicare paper claims, if the <Ref Prv> field on the Charges --►Charge screen was not populated, and the <Referring Name> field was not filled on the Registration --►Regular --►Patient screen, the rendering provider was used as the referring provider on the EB file, as well as printed on Box 17 of the HCFA claims.

 

As of this update, the referring provider only populates the EB file and the HCFA Box 17 if the Utility --►Insurance --►Insurance <Insurance Type> field is set to  'D', 'C', '1', '5' (WI Medicaid), or 'O' and a referring provider is added in the <Ref Prv> field on the Charges --►Charge screen at the time of posting charges, or when the Registration --►Regular --►Patient <Referring Name> field is filled.

 

ATTENTION: This IMMEDIATELY affects billing and other daily tasks.
