Test real claims before broad rollout

Use representative claims to confirm that patient, subscriber, treatment, diagnosis, provider, and signature data appear in the intended fields on the 2024 form.

Update written procedures

A one-page office checklist should name the current form version and tell staff where to verify official instructions. That reduces the chance that an old form reappears when someone uses a saved local file.

  • Account for 2024 additions such as payer IDs, Date Last SRP, and locum-tenens reporting when applicable.
