Next, patient demographics and past billing history will load onto the Claim form:

 

In the “Claim Details” form (image above), you may use the Tab, Enter, and Arrow keys or mouse to navigate the form and fill in the boxes. Some boxes, such as that for Referring MD, will display a small arrow (▼) or 🔍. These are known as "Auto-Complete", “Combo” or “Pull-Down Boxes” that function to quickley select an entry. 
The Service Date and Admit Date boxes load a large monthly calendar. To select a date, click once in the service date field. If the date you need is not in the current month, clicking on the small arrows (months scroll) and date (years scroll) [ <<   mmm yyyy   >> ] will let you scroll and select several service dates. 
And finally, click Save.
