Hi,
Is there any way to print directly the CMS form with all the information of the bill directly from Medisoft? I have tried multiple times and the my print preview just shows black and white image.
Thanks,
Primed

I used to have a version of the CMS-1500 report for Medisoft that included a scanned image of the CMS form in the background, but I never updated that for Medisoft v16. If you look the black and white Laser report that comes with Medisoft just uses line drawing objects to approximate the CMS-1500, but it is not an exact replica of the form. I think you will find that those that require the red form also require it to be printed by an approved professional printer. You might check with your insurance carrier. Some of them will accept the black and white Laser report from Medisoft. If they will take a faxed copy of the CMS-1500, then the Laser report from Medisoft is more than adequate. Otherwise, you will probably need to use pre-printed forms or submit those claims electronically.
