When it comes to reimbursement issues, it is better to be proactive than reactive. By fully establishing the correctness of the code that you are submitting, you could minimize your chances for rejection.

Neoplasms are a good example. Some third-party payors reject neoplams claims too quickly.

Printing the following report only takes a few seconds and could save you the trouble of a rejected claim. It can be done for any code, not just neoplasms.

This quick and easy report gives your claim the best possible chance of reimbursement the first time through the system.

First, to speed up the searching process, use the specialized neoplasm query (Template 2 for Windows users - DOS users refer to your manual).

Second, after you find the correct code, do the following:

1. Highlight the code you are using with your mouse.
2. Select File then Print. (The option Selection is already made for you.)
3. Click on OK. (Two pages will print.)
4. Attach the printouts, as needed, to your claim form as supplementary supporting information.

Third, if you have other pertinent information you would like to attach to the claim form, add it to the printout. Even better, if your additional information is something that will routinely be applicable to that code, create a note (Ctrl+N) and every time you print that code, the note will print on the second page and you won't need to redo it every time.

For the minimal amount of time that it takes, it is worth the effort!

You are cordially invited to share your effective notes and tips with others. Send InstaCode Institute a copy of your note (the second page) and we will consider adding it to our next version of ICD-9 Software in the double-check popup window.

If the ‘legal-eze’ of the license agreement seemed unclear, or if you didn’t take the time to read it, here is the simplified version. The single user version should only be loaded on one machine. Only one person can use it at one time.

Multiple Users - Networks

As your needs grow from single user to multiple users or computers in your office, we have the best multi-user agreement around! $168 for 2 simultaneous users (at the same time) and $69 for each additional user. With our network multi-user agreement, we don’t care how many physical terminals or stations you have. You decide how many people would be using it at the same time (simultaneously). Purchase only according to your needs.

Multiple Users - Not Networked

If you have multiple computer stations that aren’t networked together, we’ll give you the same price break. It’s only $69 for each additional user.*

How to Share

Raving fans are appreciated. If you are excited about your discovery of InstaCode ICD-9 Software, please tell others. Do not give them your licensed copy. It’s not only illegal, it’s also not nice.*

Your friends can get their very own Free 30-day Trial version by calling   (602) 944-3332. Because they are your friends, we’ll even pay for the shipping and handling.
