Office Therapy Users: 02/12 CMS-1500 Claim Form

On January 6, 2014, providers were able to begin submitting the new 02/12 CMS-1500 Claim Form to their payers. As of April 1, 2014 only the 02/12 CMS-1500 Claim Form is to be used when submitting to your payers for processing.

Please click here to access the NUCC site for detailed information regarding these changes.

Office Therapy Professional Billing Software Version 11.5.0 has been updated to accommodate the 02/12 CMS-1500 Claim Form. This form is only available in Claims Manager 5010 module of Office Therapy Professional Edition Version 11.5.0.  All claims, paper and electronic, must be filed through Claims Manager 5010. However, you may wish to contact your payers directly to verify which form to use - some payers may not be ready.

If this requires you to update from your current version, please contact our Sales Department at 800-850-8510 for more information. 

If you are not currently using Claims Manager 5010, we have several resources available to help you get started. We offer an extensive Help file built into Claims Manager 5010, as well as focused training webinars to show you how to correctly set up providers and generate claims (this applies to paper and electronic filing).

What in the World is CryptoLocker & What You Should Know!

The following is an article by Paul Dunklin of SOPHOS. Please read!

CRYPTOLOCKER - WHAT IS IT?

CryptoLocker, detected by Sophos as Troj/Ransom-ACP, is a malicious program known as ransomware.

Some ransomware just freezes your computer and asks you to pay a fee (these threats can usually be unlocked without paying up, using a decent anti-virus program as a recovery too).

CryptoLocker is different: your computer and software keep on working, but your personal files, such as documents, spreadsheets and images, are encrypted.

The criminals retain the only copy of the decryption key on their server - it is not saved on your computer, so you cannot unlock your files without their assistance.

They then give you a short time (e.g. 72 hours, or three days) to pay them for the key.

The decryption key is unique to your computer, so you can't just take someone else's key to unscramble your files.

The fee is $300 or EUR300, paid by MoneyPak; or BTC2 (two Bitcoins, currently about $280).
