DOB should not show "19"

Problem: The HCFA form is printing the DOB with the 19yy. Customer wants the "19" removed.

Cause: Customer or insurance carrier preference.

Solution: Modify the print format:

Open the print format

Locate the line with "DOB" in the "Print-Items" column

Change "DOB" to read "STR(DOB, 1, 6) & STR(DOB, 9, 2)"

Press <F2> to save the print format

Notes: Starting January 1st, 1998 Medicare will require all dates show the century. At that time the above changes will have to be undone. y
