The Importance of PC-ACE Pro32 Software Upgrades
Keeping your PC-ACE Pro32 program updated is very important for the following reasons:
• The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) requires you to upgrade your software program within 90 days of availability.
• Procedure codes, diagnosis codes and modifier tables are updated to provide the most current information.
• Fewer errors will be received when entering claims, submitting files and receiving payment notifications.
• Data will convert from your previous version automatically. If an upgrade is missed, there may be additional steps needed to convert data or data may not be transferrable when attempting to upgrade from an older version.
