                               Version 1.0


                               INTRODUCTION

Is a fully functional freeware program that gives the user a quick and easy
method to determine the Medicare Tenth Digit Identifier.  More importantly it
gives you, the user, an interface that is EXTREMELY SIMPLE TO USE, and allows
you to retrieve this information quickly.

By typing in the patient's social security number and pressing the enter key, 
the Tenth Digit identifier is displayed on the screen.  Press enter again, and
the information is sent to your PC's printer.  Press enter again, the user
interface is cleared and ready to accept the next social security number. It is
that simple.


                             HOW YOU CAN USE IT

Here are two scenerios that will show you how this program can help you:

1)  You have a patient's record that only shows the social security number,
you know the patient has a Medicaid card; but, you forgot to write the number
down.  

SOLUTION:  Click on your Tenth Digit Identifier link on your DeskTop, type 
in the patient's social security number and at the blink of your eye the number 
is on the screen.

2)  Your sitting at the intake desk, and a patient walks in and tells you she
is here for her appoint.  She tells you she has a Medicaid card but, she
forgot to bring it with her.  

SOLUTION:  Again, you click on your Tenth Digit Identifier icon, type in her 
social security number and there it is.

So, as you can see, you have a need for the Tenth Digit Program--ALL HEALTH
DEPARTMENTS DO!
