To start, once you receive a CMN back from the physician, save it to your computer.
Open up the patient's file in which you received the CMN for, and select the blue plus sign on the top. Click on "Log CMN"

A new screen will appear where you will have to enter all the information as it is on the CMN you received.
First select the type of CMN that you are logging from the drop down on the top right

You will have to upload the CMN you received to this screen from where you saved it on your computer.

Enter the date it was signed and choose the certification type of the CMN (Initial, Recert, Revised)

Now you will need to fill in the information as it is was filled in on the CMN
First start with section A, anything with an asterisk is required. It will auto choose "Office" as place of service, you can however change it if required. facility name and address is optional, however you must enter the initial date (revised or recert date if necessary). Enter the HCPCs code(s) and referring provider.

Section B is very important, firstly you will need to enter the length of need and the diagnosis code, but what is VERY important is that you do NOT forget to enter the qualifying test results and date of testing

Follow down the line and answer the rest of the questions as they are answered on the CMN you received.

Section C requires that you choose the HCPCs code(s) of the items prescribed and the charged amount and if necessary the allowed amount. If there is more than one item, you can select "Add item" to make a new line appear.

Once everything is entered, select save on the bottom right.

The documents screen will open up and display what you've just done.

Selecting "Details" will bring up the CMN you saved to the file, but selecting "Edit" will bring back up the CMN logging screen to make any corrections.
You will have to log a new CMN for all new initials, revised, or re-certifications.
