This is the first date of services to be billed. This will default to the first day of the previous month. You can press F2 or right-click to select a date from the popup calendar.

End Date

This is the last date of services to be billed. This will default to the last day of the previous month. You can press F2 or right-click to select a date from the popup calendar.

Print all characters in upper case

Many, perhaps most, payers want you to fill in the form with upper case letters only. Check this box and Aeris will make it happen even if the original data is in lower or mixed case.

Mark services as billed

When this box is checked, Aeris will add the claims generated to a list. This list lets you review when claims were sent and prevents claims from being accidentally billed a second time. This is the list that is used if Allow rebilling if already Billed to payer is not checked.

Keep Active

A progress window will be displayed while the claims are being printed. To keep this window always on top of other windows, check this box.
