FIELD 14 ON CMS1500 FORM NEED HELP

(1/4) > >>

KARREN:
HOW OFTEN SHOULD THE ILLNESS DATE CHANGE IN FL14?

DETAILED QUESTION:
EACH TIME THE DOCTOR CHANGES THE DX SHOULD FL 14 DATE CHANGE AS WELL.

EXAMPLE:  NEW PT ON 1/1/2010 DR. DIAGNOSIS= 723.1,724.1,728.85.  FL 14 SHOULD REFLECT 1/1/10.
NOW ON 2/15/10 DR RE-EXAM PT &  NEW DX ARE GIVEN 353.1,719.46,729.1  NOW SHOULD FL 14 REFLECT NEW DATE OF 2/15/10
OR SHOULD IT STILL REMAINS 1/1/2010.. 

DMK:
Field 14 should reflect the CURRENT date of injury.  If the doctor changes the DX it's a new DOI.

Personally, I do not use block 14 unless it is req for the claim I am billing....Go ahead billers and yell, I'm ready!  ;)

PMRNC:
No Yelling here but am curious what you do when the carrier requires it. If I leave it blank it gets rejected at clearinghouse.

medauthor:
I didn't mean when the carrier requires it, I meant when the situation requires so i.e. date of injury, LMP for preg claims, acc date.....

My clearinghouse does not reject if left blank; I use Office Ally.
