Office Therapy Version 7.0 Includes the New CMS 1500 Claim Form

 

 

Hagerstown, Maryland July 31, 2006DocuTrac, Inc. Behavioral Health Software Development Corporation, announced today that they are on target for the October 1st National Uniform Claim Committee’s deadline for the new CMS 1500 claim form.

 

The new form accommodates the reporting of the National Provider Identifier (NPI). According to the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), use of the NPI will benefit physicians by helping ensure that medical claims are processed on time and payments are made correctly. Health Care Providers will no longer need different identifying numbers when filing claims with various health plans.

 

Behavioral health care providers as well as other providers seeking insurance reimbursement will be required to use the CMS-1500 Claim Form. Office Therapy lead developer Darrel Singleton has stated that the new form will be available in Office Therapy Version 7 to be released prior to October 1st, the date on which these claims can be accepted.

 

DocuTrac has worked out a special arrangement with CIS - New Medical Forms for their customers to purchase the new CMS-1500 forms. For information visit www.quicdoc.com/html/cms_1500_claim_form.html
