Three different options provide claims form completion practice on the CD-ROM - all tied to exercises in the workbook: Electronic Forms - Common health insurance forms in Word format provide an easy way for students to complete related workbook exercises. Students can save their work at any point -- for completion at a later date or for evaluation by their instructor. Guided Completion - For introductory purposes, select exercises in the workbook direct students to the Guided Completion option where software takes them through each block of the CMS-1500 (08-05) version, offering correction and advice at each stage. Practice Management - Certain exercises within the workbook require students to use a working demo of Altapoint practice management software, giving students valuable practice management experience.
