Fix For DDE Page Glitch Slated For June
Published on Fri Feb 25, 2011
Starting June 6, some annoying extra keystrokes will be gone from DDE. On that date, Medicare will fix the page navigation problem in the Direct Data Entry system, National Government Services reports. Instead of having to use the F7 or F8 keys to click through a claim page by page, providers will once again be able to enter the page number (PG x) in the top of the claims menu to jump to that page, explains NGS.
