Claim Form Default Values

What are ‘Default Values’?

The Default Values section on the Physician/Diagnostic screen is one of the reasons EZClaim is so convenient and easy to use.

Often patients have the same codes for each date of service. Enter into this section only those codes that are used for every date of service.

When you then enter data in the New Charge screen, these values will automatically be entered.

IMPORTANT NOTE: If using the Default Values section, data must be entered into Default section BEFORE entering data into the New Charges screen. 

The Default Values that may be entered are:

      Prior Authorization Number

      Diagnosis

      Service Line Items

      Print Options for Individual Claim

Default Prior Authorization Number

Where do I enter ‘Prior Authorization’ numbers?

When entering the ‘Prior Authorization Number’ the user has two different options. If the Authorization number remains the same for each claim, enter the number in the default section. If the authorization number is different for various services, enter the authorization number on the ‘New Charges’ screen.  

Default Diagnosis

EZClaim allows the user to set up default diagnosis for those patients whose diagnosis remains the same for each date of service. If the patient diagnosis will remain the same for each date of service, enter that diagnosis in the Default Values section. If the diagnosis does not remain the same for each date of service, enter it in the ‘New Charges’ screen.

Default Service Line Item Data

Enter into this line all codes that will remain the same for each date of service for that patient. Once entered these codes will automatically be filled in when you click on the calendar dates on the New Charges Screen. Leave this line blank if codes change for each date of service. Enter codes on the New Charges screen.
