How to Select the State of Accident for Auto Accident Claims

Auto Accident carriers require the state of the accident to appear in box 10B of the HCFA-1500 claim form. You can enter it into the patient's demographics and it will appear in the correct place on the claim.

Here is how:

  1. Navigate to Patient > Patient List


2. Select the patient and the system will take you to their chart.



3. Select Insurances, and then the Auto Accident tab



4.   From the Auto Accident tab, you can enter all the applicable information regarding the patient's auto accident coverage, including the state where the accident occurred.

5. After you have entered all of the information, click on Save Demographics.


When a claim is billed to the patient's auto insurance carrier, the information will be pulled from this section and populated in the appropriate places on the claim form.
