Nope, no red ink.. in fact:   first line says

 Don’t use red ink or highlighters
   

DMK:
Thank you Linda for talking me off the ledge once again!

I clicked on the link below and on the FAQs page, the second question's answer says the form must be in OCR red ink.

I think Linda is talking about the ink we use to enter data on the form and you're talking about the actual ink color of the form itself. I read the same link and they're responding to a question about black and white claim forms, and specifically say that a vendor may not accept black and white forms, but I seriously doubt vendors will stop accepting black and white claim forms. It's just standard talk for them to encourage using ONLY their forms.

I have no problem with this new form and even commented on during the public commenting period before they finally approved it. This will help smooth the transition to ICD-10 PCS since the codes are/will be alpha-numeric and now we have more lines for DX codes, which I welcome.

thank you billergirlnyc.   I live in "a state of confusion" mostly.
