To submit batch claims from Computer Age Dentist v 5.0, you must download a simple program called ClaimConnect Utility (CCU) from the ClaimConnect Web site. CCU will work with your practice management system without interfering with it. To use CCU, Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5 or higher must be installed on your PC. Certain other browser configurations and computer settings may apply.

Before using CCU, you must configure the correct insurance form to print to within Computer Age Dentist.

I. Selecting the Insurance Form:

1.	Access Patient Information and select a patient.
2.	Under Pri Den in the Insurance Company section, click the name of the patient's insurance company. The Insurance Plan Information window will be displayed. (Note: Do not click directly on the phrase PRI DEN.)
3.	In the Form to Print box, click X 2000 ADA Form. The box will now indicate that X is the selected form.
4.	Click Save on the main toolbar.
5.	Repeat steps 1-4 for the secondary insurance if the patient has a secondary insurance plan.
6.	When you are ready to process insurance claims, either in a batch or single mode, select form X as the insurance form to print.

Your system is now set up to properly work with CCU. When you are ready to print out your insurance claims, please review Using ClaimConnect Utlility.

Notes:

	To check the status of these claims select Claim Search. You will see Validation Errors because you must identify a provider for the claims for the first submission only. To correct the errors, click on the error message for each claim and complete the provider section of the claim; then choose Submit Claim at the bottom of the corrected claim. You will get this error message any time a new provider is added or the spelling of an existing provider is changed within your practice management system.
	We suggest you batch process your claims at the end of the day. Once you have entered in all the transactions for the patients, it is easy to start CCU to capture and submit claims as an end-of-day routine.
	You cannot resubmit old claims (prior to the CCU setup) using CCU from your practice management system. Only recent transactions with the updated setup information will be successful.
