Print Paper Claims
When printing paper claims there are a few things to keep in mind:
- When printing multiple claims for an insurance, each claim status must be at "Ready to send claims" in order for it to appear as a line item on the paper claim.
- If you are batch printing multiple claim types, select the Claim Type for the first batch (see below). After those are printed, you will see the Print Paper Claims window again. Select another Claim Type, change the paper in the printer, and click Print Claims for the rest of the batch.
- After printing a paper claim (or batch of claims), you will be prompted with a dialogue box, "The Printing is complete. Has the form printed correctly?" Clicking yes changes the status of the claim to "Pending insurance."
- If the alignment is off on the printed claim, you can adjust the alignment within Kareo PM, see Printer Printer Alignment.
To print a single claim
- Click Encounters > Track Claim Status. The Find Claim window opens.
- In the search bar, enter all or part of a keyword and click Find Now. You can also sort by clicking on a column header.
- Once you find the claim you want to print, click once on the claim to highlight it.
- Click Action and select "Print paper claim." An Attention window opens.
- Click to select or clear "Print with background." When selected, your claims will print on a black and white version of the CMS1500 Form.
