2012 Claim Form

Post by drtech » Tue Nov 24, 2015 11:52 am

I haven't changed my ins claim form in a long while, but an insurance company just said they needed the 2012 form and wouldn't process my 2006 version. Where do we get the image for the claim form? It shows up blank when i go to edit the form and isn't in the "open dental\data" folder.

Thanks!

What version of Open Dental are you using?
The 2012 claim form is not part of the Image folder. It is distributed with the program in a .dll

Under Setup:
Family/Insurance:

Is this where you're going to get the ADA 2012 form? Because we have changed ours so the 2012 version is the default.
Not sure if this answers your question.

We don't distribute it anymore without an Open Dental registration key- copyright reasons.
You'll have to source your own image and add to the system. I'll dig to see if I can find a link to purchase as well.

From http://opendental.com/manual/distributors.html
CDT License: The full version of Open Dental includes copyrighted CDT content, including the ADA claimform, and the ADA procedure codes. Because this content is copyrighted, we are not allowed to include it in the source code. We have a license to distribute this content to our paying customers only. Distributors can also obtain their own license to distribute this content. Go to http://www.ada.org/4190.aspx and apply for the "Practice Management Software License". Once a distributor obtains an ADA license, we can provide technical documentation on how to include CDT content in the executable. There are no licensing issues for Canadian procedure codes.

The ADA store has two options, physical pad of 100 or PDF http://ebusiness.ada.org/productcatalog ... px?ID=1739.
If you purchase the PDF, you'll have to convert the file into an image file to use as a background.

I bought the file. Converting it and making it fit in OD is a nightmare. Do you have the exact dimensions and border sizes, etc...?
