Hi - The only way to do that on the claim form is to leave it blank. 

Hope that helps.

Great question : ) 

Start out by filling in your practice information (address, NPI, even the service if it never changes).  Then save this with a unique file name such as "practicetemplate.pdf".  Then when you are ready to bill, open this file and fill in the patient information.  Once completed be sure to "Save as" and name the claim such as "JSmith 050524.pdf."  By giving it a new name, the practicetemplate.pdf will not be changed, but a new file will be created "JSmith 050524.pdf."

To create a duplicate, open the previous file, such as "JSmith 050524.pdf and change the date and service, and then "Save as" using another file name, such as "JSmith 060524.pdf." By giving it a new name, the JSmith 050524.pdf will not be changed, but a new file will be created for the client.

Hi Barbara, 

Please send me a screenshot of that error message as I have not heard of this.   In the meantime I will send you the files again to make sure it is nothing to do with the CMS 1500 PDF. 

Best regards,

Hi Dawn,

Thanks for sharing steps you have taken.  It may be the PDF template has changed?  I will send you another to try with your computer. Send me your email to dan@fiachraforms.com so I can send it to you.

Hi Barry,

In Adobe Reader, the scroll bar is a rather thin line on the right of the page, but it is there for you.  Also, the tab button will help you advance through the fields. 

Hope that helps!

Hi Dawn,

See if your Mac is defaulted back to opening a PDF in Mac Preview or other software.  

Here is how : )

Open the free Adobe Reader for Mac
- If you need to download and install Adobe Reader, please use this link below to install on Mac or Windows.

https://get.adobe.com/reader/

Within Adobe Reader, open the file you are working with. 

Now use the button at the top left of the form to print and save.

If you are using Adobe Reader to open, you may need to uninstall/reinstall as they too have done a recent update. 

best regards,

Dan

Hi Bootsie,

Be sure to install Adobe Reader for your Macbook.  Then it will work as before.

Hi Juan,

Each laptop has the CMS 1500 PDF file on the hard drive. They are not able to sync with the other laptops for that reason. 

If you find that you are using multiple laptops, and want to continue working with an existing claim or file on a different compter, save the file to a USB flash drive, not the current computer hard drive.  Then when you are on another computer you can insert the USB flash drive and continue working on the claim or file you started. 

Hope that helps,

Hi Terry,

Thanks for sharing about your issue and the solution you found. In looking on Adobe's website it is not clear why this would be happening. If you can, let me know your current Adobe Reader version that you reinstalled. 

Best regards,

Dan

Hi Koji,

Thanks for reaching out. Be sure to close out other software, then open Adobe Reader, the file.  Often when you click on the file icon, another program will open, such as Mac Preview or even a browser.

Once Adobe is open it should work.  If you find it is not while in Adobe Reader, let me know and I will send the files again, as perhaps they have gotten changed somehow.

Best regards,

Dan
