Accepting Assignment: HCFA 1500 claim form Boxes 27 and 13

As a Provider, you have the option to accept or decline assignment of benefits in ChiroFusion.

When adding a new Payer in ChiroFusion, you have the ability to specify whether or not you are accepting assignment. By accepting assignment of benefits, the Payer will remit payment directly to you and not the patient. Conversely, if you choose to not accept assignment, the Payer will remit payment directly to the patient. 

 

You can specify assignment for a particular Payer in ChiroFusion in Settings > Add/Edit Insurance Company > Clearinghouse Details. By default, this selection will apply to all patients associated with this Payer and place the "Signature on File" in Box 13 if necessary.
