Paper Claim Options

Paper Claim Options

1. Default Printer: Select from the drop down to set the default printer when printing paper claims.  

2. Print Full CMS Form: If not using preprinted CMS 1500 forms, check Print Full CMS form to print the entire claim form, including the red lines (must have color printer).

3. If using preprinted CMS 1500 forms, leave blank. Only text will print.

Please Note:

Most printer manufacturers install a PCL (Printer Command Language) driver by default. This works well if printing documents in plain text with very little formatting, e.g., a word document on a home computer. However with the complexity of forms and page layouts, selecting a PS (Post Script) Print Driver instead of a PCL driver is recommended. This type of printer driver will handle the forms information most efficiently. SOAPware recommends using a business grade printer, or a color laser jet printer, if selecting Print Full CMS Form.

Note: Selecting Print Full CMS Form will print the front of the CMS 1500 only, and will not include the print on the back of the form. If a payer requires the standard front and back of the CMS 1500 form, the claim will not be acceptable.

SOAPware does not support printers/scanners. Meaning that SOAPware does not install printer drivers or set printer configurations. Please contact an IT person for additional hardware matters. However, it is recommend to download the most recent printer drivers needed from the manufacturer's website. It is usually a FREE DOWNLOAD. For any issues locating the driver needed, please contact the manufacturer directly. Be cautious of downloading drives from an alternate source other than the printer manufacturer.
