If it seems like the GU0 record for medical billing of claims is endless, well, it is close to it. The CMN itself has over 70 fields. The majority of them are so cryptically mapped that it is impossible for a biller to understand one field from another without going through the manuals, which usually aren't much help anyway. In this inst
Q) Should I place string around the box to keep it sealed tightly?

Sometimes, many pieces have to be brought together before a bill can even be sent, depending on what you have done. Some procedures are simple. Then there are those that can turn i
Q) Should I wrap my package in brown paper before bringing it to the store to ship?
A) NO, NO, NO! Brown paper is cardinal sin #1 in shipping. The ONLY thing on the outside of a box should be the label that is printed with the "ship from" and "ship to" information on it.

All of this bumping tends to tear the brown paper. By the time your package arrives at the end of the assembly line, it has no paper on it and therefore no label. Now there is a box at the end of the line and the carrier has no idea to where it should be shipped.

Buying and selling wholesale goods is frequently viewed as a sort of ‘get rich quick’ scheme, where sellers can make enormous profits from very little investment or work. Three months after they started, people just don’t understand why things haven’t gone according to plan! There are four myths in particular that seem to lead would-be sel

There are arguments raging over efficacy of Six Sigma in all aspects of business processes. Take, for example, the case of billing your customers.

Q) Should I place string around the box to keep it sealed tightly?
A) NO, NO, NO! Tying packages with string is cardinal sin #2 in shipping. There should be a corrugated box on the outside of the items being shipped and nothing else but the shipping label. Cross out the bar codes on any other labels on the outside of the box (no need to remove them - it hurts the integrity of the corrugate when you pull labels off the box).
Q) Can I use a shirt box or shoe box for shipping?
A) NO, NO, NO! Shirt boxes and shoes boxes, although they fit the shirt or shoes that are inside perfectly, are NOT for shipping. The ONLY type of box for shipping is a corrugated box with a certification seal on the bottom of the box (see one of my other articles about the corrugate seal).
Q) Can I send wrapped presents?
A) YES and NO. If you package the wrapped presents in a corrugated box, they are fine for shipping. If you bring a wrapped present for shipping and the shipper offers packaging service to have the item shipped, don't be offended... see answer #1 for an explanation.<
