The font is a specific, required size on both the UB 04 and CMS 1500 claim forms to allow for it to be OCR scanned (optical character recognition) in when it is processed. Making the font larger would also make the text difficult to fit into the fields.
The machine will not need to have bold to read it. If you the human reader of this form needs better visibility, use the zoom feature within Adobe Reader so you can see the fields easier. Hope that helps!

HI DAN, THANKS. WHAT ABOUT CHANGING THE FONT TO BOLD OR OTHER TYPE WITH BETTER VISIBILITY?
