When using a standard pre-printed insurance claim form, print alignment is a crucial factor in ensuring your claims are processed efficiently by the insurance company. As printers can vary in their printing capabilities, it is essential to have software that allows for adjustments to align data on any pre-printed form, making this process easy and accessible.
In your Speedy Claims software programs, it is!

PRINT ALIGNMENT
Adjust your print alignment for your printer when printing on Red CMS pre-printed forms.
You may need to adjust the alignment when you begin with the program, switch computers, or printers. Once you have 1 claim printed and see it needs to be adjusted, highlight the claim in your claim list and select to print again. When your print screen appears, select Form / Printer Settings in the lower left corner
This takes you to the Printer Settings window. Use the All Text to adjust the print as needed. The arrows will adjust the direction of your text printing, approximately 1/8 inch per click.
If the top half becomes accurate, leaving the bottom needing to be moved up or down, the Vertical Spacing can be used to Expand/pull down or Contract/push up the bottom half. The Horizontal spacing can be used to expand or contract the right side in or out. Once your adjustment is correct, the setting will be saved.
NOTE. If you are printing on blank paper and want to print an image of the form as well, select one of the Blank Paper options as your Print On option
Alignment Profile
The Alignment Profile is used to create different alignment settings for separate printers. New profiles can be added for separate printers you may be using. As print alignment can vary from printer to printer, individual printer profiles can be created, and the alignment setup customized for each printer.

The HCFA-1500 and CMS-1500 forms represent the standard paper claim form for billing Medicare and other insurance carriers. The HCFA-1500 was the original name, used when the Health Care Financing Administration (HCFA) was in place. When the HCFA was renamed to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), the form became known as the CMS-1500. The HCFA, Health Care Financing Administration, was renamed to the CMS, Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, in 2001.
Both the original HCFA-1500 and the current CMS-1500 are used by providers to bill medical insurance companies. They include information about the patient, the healthcare provider, and the services provided, as well as charges for those services.
Further explanation of form fields on the CMS-1500 form can be found at https://support.speedysoftusa.com/portal/en/kb/how-to-fill-out-the-cms-1500-insurance-claim-form
Field 24B on the CMS 1500 claim form is the field used to enter the Place of Service (POS) code. This two-digit code indicates where the healthcare service was provided.
Also see our knowledgebase at https://support.speedysoftusa.com/portal/en/kb/articles/field-24b-place-of-service-lines-1-6
In Box 25 of the CMS-1500 claim form, you should enter the billing provider’s federal tax ID number (either Social Security Number or Employer Identification Number). This number is used to identify the provider for tax and billing purposes.
You must mark the appropriate box to the right to indicate whether you’ve entered an SSN or an EIN.
The UB-04 form, also known as the CMS-1450, is most commonly used in hospitals and other institutional healthcare facilities to bill Medicare, Medicaid, and private insurers for services provided to patients.
Inpatient hospital stays
Outpatient hospital services
Skilled nursing facilities (SNFs)
Home health services
Hospice care
Certain outpatient surgery centers and rehab facilities
It includes fields for diagnosis codes, procedure codes, revenue codes, and other billing details.
The taxonomy code is a unique alphanumeric code, ten characters in length. The code set is structured into three distinct “Levels,” including Provider Grouping, Classification, and Area of Specialization. The provider self-selects the taxonomy codes, which are organized based on education and training and used to define specialty.
There is a detailed lookup for taxonomy codes based on the taxonomy code sets at https://taxonomy.nucc.org/
Taxonomy code placement on the CMS 1500 claim form is in fields 24j and 33b.
Taxonomy codes are entered in the shaded field above the rendering NPI in field 24j. The qualifier used to identify a taxonomy code used on a CMS 1500 form is ZZ, which is entered in 24i.
When entering a taxonomy code on the CMS 1500 form in field 33b, enter the qualifier ZZ before the taxonomy code.
Electronic claims work by a practice management software generating a claim, sending it to a clearinghouse for processing, and then the clearinghouse transmits the claim to the insurance company. This process streamlines the claim submission, potentially reducing errors and speeding up the payment process.
A clearinghouse is like an electronic post office. You’ll send all your claims to them in ONE file. They’ll sort them out and send them to the right place and in the right format. Then they’ll gather all the status reports from the insurance companies and post them for you to review 24/7. Everything in one spot. One portal, one login. They charge a fee, but can save you a lot of time and frustration compared to you trying to send your claims individually.Here’s a more detailed breakdown:
The process begins with the practice’s management software, which creates claims with patient, insurance, and procedure details. With Speedy Claims, all claims are saved to the claim list. From there, claims are selected, and an electronic batch file can be created. The file output can be in either Print Image or ANSI 837 format.
The claim is then transmitted to your clearinghouse.
The clearinghouse performs several functions:
Once the claim is scrubbed and corrected, the clearinghouse transmits it to the appropriate insurance company or payer.
The insurance company processes the claim, determines the amount due, and initiates payment to the provider.

Box 22 is where resubmission codes are entered on the CMS-1500 form. This box is also where the Original Reference Number of the previously submitted claim is entered.
Elaboration:
This field is specifically designed to indicate whether a claim is a resubmission, correction, or replacement of a prior claim and to include the original claim number.
When resubmitting a claim, enter the appropriate code on the left-hand side of Box 22. Common codes include:
6: Corrected Claim
7: Replacement of Prior Claim
8: Void/Cancel of Prior Claim
Box 22 should also include the original claim number assigned by the insurance payer. This helps the payer identify the original claim and properly process the resubmission or correction.
Below is an example of a resubmission code for a corrected claim, along with the original claim number assigned by the insurance payer
On a CMS-1500 form, the diagnosis pointer acts as a reference, associating the proper diagnosis code (ICD-10) with the procedure being billed.
The diagnosis pointer is entered in Box 24E on a CMS-1500 claim form. In box 24E, use the letters A through L to correspond with the diagnosis code placement in field 21. Do not use commas or other separators between the letters when multiple diagnosis pointers are entered.
Do not enter the diagnosis code in the diagnosis pointer field in box 24E; only the corresponding reference letter.
The “Carrier” box on a CMS-1500 claim form, also known as the “Payer Address” box, is used to enter the address of the insurance company or payer responsible for paying the medical claim. Accurate completion is crucial for prompt and accurate claim processing, as it ensures the claim reaches the intended insurance company
The Carrier block is typically found in the top right corner of the first page of the CMS-1500 form.
