How do I create a different Patient Account # for Box 26

We are starting to use Medisoft V17 SP1 (17.1.2.128) to file our Medicare Claims. Medicate is wanting us to use the Patient Account Number that Medicare has assigned to the patient and NOT theAccount # that Medisoft assigns to the patient.

How do I assign an alternate account number to the patient and have it appear in BOX 26 on a 1500 FORM?

Thanks

Make sure they aren't talking about the patient's policy number which prints in box 1A. I am not sure what other patient account number Medicare would be talking about. All of the claim reports that come with Medisoft are coded to print the patient's chart number in box 26 so you will need to configure your own CMS-1500 report using Design Custom Reports and Bills within Medisoft if you need something else to print.
