REMOVED THE “DC” FROM DOCTOR’S SIGNATURE

(HCFA Red Med Billing Format)

The easiest way to edit a form is to do this from billing. In this way, we can test to be sure that everything is doing what we need. Once in billing, pick a patient that is using the template you wish to correct (i.e. HCFA Red Med 1.7). Now click on EDIT. This brings up a screen with all the small “boxes”.

Slide the bar down until you see the 2 gray bars titled Detail and Group Footer. Just below this last bar you will see a row of “boxes”. Below these boxes is another gray bar titled Page Footer. On the left hand side just above the Page Footer bar you will see 2 boxes. The very bottom one will be a date field, the longer one just above it will be the doctor’s name. Double click on this box to bring up the expression format. To the right of the Expression box you will see a button with 3 dots ([…]) click on this to expand the expression. You will see the following:

UPPER(TRIM(MFDOCTOR.FIRST_NAME)+" "+TRIM(MFDOCTOR.LAST_NAME)+” “+”DC”)

Highlight and remove everything after the (MFDOCTOR.LAST_NAME) EXCEPT the last “)”. When you are done it will look like this:

UPPER(TRIM(MFDOCTOR.FIRST_NAME)+" "+TRIM(MFDOCTOR.LAST_NAME))

OK your way back to the screen with the boxes. Now, hold down the CTRL key and press the letter “W” to save this changed format.
