Claims and HCFA FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: I’m having a hard time printing the HCFA form (original red/white form). Box 32 and 33 print on the next line or things are misaligned. Can you help?
A: When printing HCFA forms from Google Chrome, we’ve found the following settings work for many clinics, but it may depend on your printer.
Layout: Portrait,
Paper Size: A4,
Margins: Start with the Default,
The following margins have worked for several clinics:
Top 0.4-.65,
Left: .28-.31,
Right: .07-1.4,
Bottom: .18-0.4,
Scale: 100 (you can try 95-105 to make everything a touch smaller or larger)
Here is a sample downloadable 1500 form (version 02/12) that may help to test it out as well (and help save your forms).
