Collection Status Screen . . .
This allows you to enter the collection status for a
particular patient. The prior status should be noted in
the lower left corner of the underlying table. If no
collection information has been previously entered, the
status will be "OK".
Use the R/L arrow keys to change status to C1, C2, C3.
Define your own criteria for inclusion in the different
categories; the collection status will be displayed in
various tables throughout the program as well as in
the Master record.
After changing the status, be sure to save the result
by pressing Enter at the last field.

The top of this menu displays the new collection status
just entered in the previous screen.
If you use your own collection letters or other system,
recording the patient's new collection status may be all
you want to do. If so, select the menu option to exit.
Otherwise, you may print a collection letter for the
patient; select the letter matching the patient's new
status. You will be given the option of printing to disk
or printer. The disk option will allow batch-printing of
the letters as a group.

Patient Encounter Form . . .
- An Encounter Form records ANY patient service which generates
a charge. This would include office visits, inpatient or out-
patient hospital visits, consultations, home visits, etc.
- Note highlighted status message whether you are Adding, Changing
or Deleting a record. Also note highlighted block in lower right
corner for additional information.
- F2 & F3 are "jump keys", taking you to the indicated field.
- F4 allows you to check on insurance info from the Master file.
- F5, F6, F9, & F10 provide look-up tables for entry into the
appropriate fields. Alternatively, you may directly type in your
data. Generally, for Claim Type (F5) and Dr (F6), you will only
use the entries available in the look-up tables.
- Be sure to save the Encounter Form with either Enter from the
last field or Ctrl-Enter before the last field.

Process HCFA 1500 Insurance Claim Form . . . Help Screen 1 of 3
Because of differing insurance carrier requirements, the screen for
completing the HCFA 1500 Form has several secondary pop-up forms.
By pressing function keys you select those groups of fields that are
required by a particular carrier.
The fields to be completed on the base form include the following:
(Field numbers correspond the actual field numbers on the HCFA Form)
1) HCFA_Type: A required field for entering the HCFA Form claim type.
These are the claim types specified on the HCFA Form
(MEDICARE, MEDICAID, CHAMPUS, CHMPVA, GROUP HEALTH PLAN,
FECA BLK LUNG, OTHER) and should not be confused with
claim types in the LEHIPEDS database. F9 provides a
look-up table for entering these HCFA claim types.
6) Relation to Insured: Use the right or left arrow keys to select.

12 & 13) Authorized Signature: Select Y/N. "No" leaves the field blank.
"Yes" prints "Signature on File" in the field.
Field 24)
This is the main part of the form related to the medical services
provided. Note that the first Date of Service (From) is already
entered from the Encounter Form. The same is true for all CPT Code,
Modifier, and Charge entries. All other data must be typed in at
this location. Obviously there will be no further entries beyond
the last line for which there is a CPT Code entry.
For the Diagnosis Code only two types of entries are permitted:
a blank (<Enter> key); or one of the Diagnosis Codes displayed
above in Field 21. If you are uncertain which CPT Code should be
associated with a particular Diagnosis Code, press <Alt-C>. This
pops-up a table of CPT Codes and their descriptions.

29) Amount Paid: Enter the amount paid, if any. This entry is only
for display on the insurance form. It is NOT recorded
in the patient database.
Note that there are other fields displayed on the base form e.g.
Patient Name, Insured, Diagnosis. These are taken from either the Master
File or Encounter Form, and are shown for information only.
F10: This is a "jump key" taking you to the Amount Paid field. This is
especially useful in Field 24 when you have no more lines to type,
thereby avoiding pressing <Enter> for numerous blank fields.
Note that, after entering Field 6, the cursor stops next to the area of
the screen describing the various Function keys. These descriptions
state which fields are associated with a particular F_key. Pressing a
key pops-up a secondary form for data entry into the designated fields.
Select only those F_key(s) which you require. Press <Enter> to move on
to next Field 27.

This table shows a patient ledger from a particular claim
type group. The balance shown is the official balance which

printing to printer or diskfile. Printing to diskfile allows
you to later batch print an entire group of statements.

collection letters built into the program.
