Hi folks: I have seen threads on Medicare rejections etc. but none on this topic. I hope this is not a repeat. The latest version of openEMR seems to be printing the form assuming the old version: CMD 1500 (08-05).

Most noticeable are:

  • Box 8 is not “reserved” (not Patient Status),
  • 21: ICD Codes are A-L (not 1-4)
  • Lots of other fields….

Help?

You need to specify the format to use under globals > Features > CMS 1500 Paper Form Format

If that option isn’t present then you need to patch/upgrade your system.
