Are
you buying a new computer?
A word to the
wise: Even though you might want to buy a new computer loaded with
Microsoft Vista, you would not yet be able to run ULTRACare with
that operating system. There will be a new version of Synergy and
ULTRACare tested for use on a Microsoft Vista computer, expected
by late 2007.

ULTRACare
and the UB-04
The UB-04 form,
also known as the CMS-1450, will replace the current UB-92 billing
form. The new form will be phased in over a transition period from
March 1 to
May 22, 2007 and used exclusively for institutional billing beginning
May 23, 2007. The UB-04 data set accommodates the National Provider
Identifier and incorporates a number of other important changes
and improvements.
ULTRACare
users on Version 14.9 or higher can begin using the UB-04 billing
claim form beginning March 1. The system allows you to print the
new form by using a pre-printed form or by printing through Crystal
Viewer.
Wolters
Kluwer notified all ELF customers that they would discontinue all
licensing and support for all healthcare forms as of April 30, 2007.
If you are still using Electronic Laser Forms (ELF) for UB printing,
you will need to change to using the Crystal Viewer version, as
there is no ELF UB-04. To start printing this new form, simply change
the Insurance Code filing control for all codes that should use
the new form.
As
always, if you have any questions, please call us at 1-800-666-3883.
