Case Information - Claim Data


The Claim Data section of the patient's Case Information contains several fields that will map to a printed CMS-1500 insurance claim form or its electronic equivalent. It is not necessary to always fill out all of the fields in Claim Data in order to have your insurance bills accepted. However, certain insurance carrier's have their own requirements as to what is and what isn't required on the claim.

! IMPORTANT: A QuickPractice representative cannot always give you a definitive answer as to what an insurance carrier specifically requires on the claims that you send them. It is the client's responsibility to contact the carrier to confirm what is needed on the claim (such as a "ate of current illness or C.L.E.A. number). After you are sure of what needs to be included on the claims you send, you may always contact a technical support technician to inquire as how to use the program to populate that information to the insurance form.
