Building Control Files
For the statements below assume that form 511=private, 512=workman's comp/Industrial, 513=medicaid, 514=Medicare. You may use any form type you want, of course.
Paper claim control
The following section shows you how to accomplish the following special options by building control files.
| • | Use single digit place of service on the 511 form |
| • | Use a decimal point on the 511 form. Remember that most Medicare intermediaries do not allow the use of a decimal on the 514 form. |
| • | Put an "Amount Due Now" line on the Open-Item Statement. This will reflect the amount due on only those charges that have transactions posted to them. |
| • | Print balance forward statements for open item accounts. |
| • | Eliminates the diagnosis codes from printing on the statements |
To get the single digit place of service on the 511 perform the following:
| • | Use your text editor to add the following in lower case, do not insert any spaces |
| • | test by demanding a form and viewing the results. |
To have the decimal point appear in dollar amounts on the 511:
| • | Use your text editor to add the following in lower case, do not insert any spaces |
| • | test by demanding a form and viewing the results. |
