OfficeMate/ExamWRITER 8.0.24 provides critical updates to the CMS 1500 and ANSI claims.
If you submit claims using print or print image or use an electronic claim vendor other than Gateway EDI, you must install v8.0.24 on all computers running OfficeMate/ExamWRITER 8.0.23 and earlier prior to April 1, 2014. After March 31, Medicare and private insurance carriers will no longer accept the CMS 1500 (08/05).
Warning: Prior to installing 8.0.24, verify that your insurance carriers or clearinghouses are accepting the CMS 1500 (02/12) form. Once you upgrade to 8.0.24, you will lose all access to the old CMS 1500 form.
