How do I record the CLIA number for a lab test on a fee slip in OfficeMate?

OfficeMate currently does not include CLIA numbers (X4 qualifiers) in its database of procedure codes. However, Eyefinity does plan to include the CLIA numbers in a future release. If you need to bill a CLIA number, Gateway EDI may be able to write a rule to allow the number to be billed. Otherwise, you can follow the instructions below to add the CLIA number to a fee slip in OfficeMate:

1. From OfficeMate, open a fee slip.
2. Post the charges to the fee slip.
3. Select the patient's insurance from the Insurance drop-down menu.
4. Click the Auth/CoPay button.
5. Select Medicare from the drop-down menu.
6. Click New.
7. Type the authorization number of the CLIA in the Authorization ID text box.
8. Select the Services check box and select the correct expiration date.
9. Click Save and Exit.
10. On the fee slip, click Record.
11. Check your CMS 1500 Form, as the CLIA number will now appear on the form.
