Re: [MEDITECH-L] UB04 and Field 51

Pam: Meditech is wrong, or your Consultant isn't aware, because I have notified Meditech of this issue in the past and have created a Task for it, because my interpretation of the NUBC specs is that (1) FL 51 is required, and (2) the payer's legacy number must be there if there is no Health P

RE: [MEDITECH-L] UB04 Paper Form Alignment

Jay: I think you'll find that at CPI of 10.05, while it lines up good, it actually truncates the right-most character. To test this, put 3 Value Codes/Amounts on 1 account and print the UB04. Then check the Value Code/Amount that appears in FL 41A. I think you'll find that the Amount field

[MEDITECH-L] FW: Printing to Specific Tray

Steve: I have been successful in printing to multiple trays on a printer (e.g., UB04 claims in the upper tray, regular paper in the lower tray), at least on the HP LaserJet 4150. Meditech states, and also defines in a Knoweldge Base article, that they can't control tray usage, at least in repo

S discharges. There is one exception, i.e., claims submitted via direct data entry (DDE) should not report the POA codes until January 1, 2008, as the DDE screens will not be able to accommodate the codes until that date. Hope this helps !! - Original Message - From: Gary Ring To: me
