MEDshare#1 System Requirements:
-------------------------------
MS-DOS 3.3 or greater (DOS 6.22 preferred)
640K of memory (required)
Monochrome (or color) monitor
(1) 5 1/4" or 3 1/2" floppy disk drive (for software)
(1) hard disk drive with 10 Meg bytes of free space (for program
    and data files)
(1) printer


MEDshare#1  handles  various state-required insurance  forms,  as
well as the HCFA-1500 (12-90).  All other reports can be  printed
on 8 1/2" x 11" standard stock paper.


Note: All MEDshare#1 programs are distributed in compressed format.

ALL COPIES OF MEDshare *.EXE modules WILL INITIALLY LOAD AS  'UN-
REGISTERED' HAVING A 100 PATIENT LIMIT.  THIS PATIENT LIMIT  WILL
BE  REMOVED UPON THE ENTRY OF A VALID 'USER REGISTRATION  NUMBER'
INTO  YOUR  PRACTICE  DATA. THIS 'USER  REGISTRATION  NUMBER'  IS
UNIQUE TO EACH USER  AND IS PROVIDED TO THE USER UPON RECEIPT  OF
A FULLY PAID AND PROPERLY FILLED OUT REGISTRATION FORM. WHEN  YOU
SEND  IN THIS FORM CHECK TO ENSURE   THAT   YOUR  PRACTICE   NAME
AND   POSTAL   ZIP  CODE   IS ENTERED  EXACTLY  AS  YOU WISH   IT
TO BE.  ANY  CHANGES  TO  YOUR PRACTICE   NAME  OR   POSTAL   ZIP
CODE  WILL  INVALIDATE   YOUR UNIQUE  REGISTRATION NUMBER.


REGISTERED USERS WILL RECEIVE THE FOLLOWING BENEFITS:
>FREE  BUG  REPLACEMENT  DISKS.  (*  For  the  first  six  months
following  registration.)  Free  replacement disks will  be  sent
for  any  program  bug  that  results  in  an   abnormal  program
termination  or loss  of  data integrity.  You  will be  notified
of replacement diskette(s) when available.


>CURRENT VERSION OF MEDshare#1 (if a more current one is now
available)
>PRINTED USER MANUAL
>NOTIFICATION OF NEW PRODUCTS FROM MEDshare, Inc.

(Note:  If  you are a current user of MED#1 (old  name)  versions
1.07 S/93 or prior releases - MEDshare#1 version 1.08 can only be
installed  over  your current system if your  current  system  is
VERSION 1.07 'SUMMER 1994'.  You must first update your  existing
system  to the 1.07 S/94 release level before you can  update  to
version 1.08!)

MEDshare#1 version 1.08 is a MAJOR UPGRADE from  MED#1/MEDshare#1
version 1.07 Summer 1994.  ALL DATA FILES CURRENTLY USED BY  YOUR
CURRENT COPY OF MED#1 (or MEDshare#1 - new name after April 1995)
MUST  BE  UPDATED  TO  A NEW  AND  IMPROVED  FORMAT.   While  the
conversion  program  U107T108.EXE  will  do  all  of  this   file
conversion  for you your computer must have adequate  disk  space
for making the new files and copying your data into them.  If you
are  using an older 286 or 386 computer you may want to  consider
updating  to  a  486  or  better  computer  prior  to  installing
MEDshare#1 version 1.08.  (MEDshare#1 will still run on the  same
computer that your current MED#1/MEDshare#1 is on even if it is a
286 or 386.)  The new 486 computers are now priced right and will


give  you  improved  speed in handling your  data.   If  you  are
considering buying a new computer try to make the following  your
minimum  configuration requirements: (These  requirements  should
give  you a computer that will be usable and supportable for  two
to three years.)

1. 486 or better
2. 8 Meg of memory (needed for other programs - not MEDshare#1)
3. 800+ Meg Byte hard drive (anything smaller is obsolete)
4. 3 1/2" floppy drive
5. Tape backup
6. 8x CD-ROM (or better)
7. Color monitor, .28, non-interlaced
8. Standby power supply
9. DOS 6.22

You  should  be  able  to find a system  with  these  (and  other
features) for between $1,400 and $2,000.  When you purchase  this
equipment  be sure that who you buy it from will offer  'ON  SITE
SUPPORT', otherwise you will have to take into their shop for any
problem  fix.   They  should  also  take  the  responsibility  to
transfer all of your current data on to the new machine.

The main consideration in updating to MEDshare#1 version 1.08  is
the hard disk space needed to make file copies in and at the same
time  preserve your existing old data files.  To see if you  have
enough hard disk space do the following:


1. From your DOS prompt do a CD\ to your current MED#1/MEDshare#1
directory where your data files are found.
2. Type DIR <ENTER> to list all files in this directory.
3.  The  end of this DIR listing will give you the  space  needed
requirements  for your current data files and below it  the  free
space remaining on your hard disk.

If  the  space remaining on your hard disk is not  equal  to  the
space  taken up by your data files you should  consider  updating
your  hardware first.  If remaining free space is not  twice  the
size  of your largest data file you MUST UPDATE and/or find  more
hard disk free space.

Call MEDshare, Inc. at 1-800-233-0560 for general information  or
1-972-736-1067 if your question is of a technical nature.

UTILITIES  - APPLICATION SUPPORT - UPDATE PRACTICE INFORMATION  -
INSURANCE FORMS

MODIFY  FORM SETUP:  Each format of an insurance form is  printed
using  a special print module.  While the form itself may be  the
standard  'HCFA-1500 (12/90)' form the insurance carrier you  are
filing  with  may require you to follow special  instructions  in
filling  it  out.  The MEDshare#1 system can support up  to  nine
different  insurance  form  print routines.  Each  routine  is  a
separate  '*.EXE'  module that you load onto your hard  disk  and
then setup within the MEDshare#1 system using this UTILITY.  Each
print  module  must be configured to your  specific  printer  and
claim filing format needs.  In order to access the 'UTILITIES' of
that  print module WITH OUT HAVING TO EXIT THE MEDSHARE#1  SYSTEM
use this 'MODIFY FORM SETUP' function.

1) Select the 'MODIFY FORM SETUP' function.
2) Use the up/down arrow keys to identify the form to work on and
then press the <ENTER> key.
3) That form module will then be called up and you can access its
UTILITIES and make any necessary adjustments.
4)  Upon  completion just exit the form module  by  pressing  the
<ESC>  key and you will be returned to the MEDshare#1  system  at
the same place you left it.

UTILITIES - SYSTEM SUPPORT - SET DEFAULT VALUES - OTHER

CONTINUE TO POST TO LAST PATIENT INVOICE UNTIL PRIMARY  INSURANCE
FORM HAS BEEN PRINTED? (Y/N):  The default value for this  option
in  most cases should be 'N'.   There are certain practices  that
require  a patient to come in for a series of treatments  over  a
short time of several days.  When this is the case it may be more
practical to post each visit to the same invoice until it is time
to  print  an insurance form.  This will result in  reducing  the
number  of receipts that need to be posted to only one  for  that
invoice  (this is assuming that you are using the invoice  number
to  control  your  open receivables).  If you  need  to  hold  an
invoice open until the primary insurance has been printed enter a
'Y'  to  this  option.  When you post the  next  visit  the  last
invoice will be displayed to you and you can then add  additional
postings to it.  (Keep in mind that there is still a limit of  15
line items per invoice.)

November 13, 1995 ************

Allergy/Immunology, Chiropractic, and Therapists.

There  is a need by some practices to maintain a  single  invoice

open  for  a  patient for several visits.  This  allows  for  the
posting of a single payment for multiple visits and also to print
one insurance form for multiple visits.  When an invoice is  held
open  insurance forms are normally printed only once a  week,  in
some cases only once a month, for all patients.

Currently the MEDshare#1 system will assign a new invoice  number
for each day of postings for each patient.  This will remain  the
default  mode used by most practices.  If you wish to  hold  open
the  last invoice number used for postings for each  patient  you
now  change  this default mode.  Call up  "UTILITIES"  -  "SYSTEM
SUPPORT"  -  "SET  DEFAULT VALUES" - and  select  "OTHER  DEFAULT
VALUES".   To  hold an invoice open answer "Y" to  the  following
prompt:

"Continue to post to last patient invoice until primary insurance
form has been printed? (Y/N):"

Answering "Y" to this prompt will hold open the last invoice  for
each  patient until the primary insurance form is printed.   When
this  option  is  used  the  last  invoice  will  be  called  up,
displayed, and receive new line item postings (maximum line items
still  limited to 15) providing a request for printing a  primary
insurance  form is pending.  If no primary insurance  form  print
request is pending then a new invoice number will be assigned and
a new invoice is setup for posting.
