Thom Biller Software Updates

7/27/10 - Upgrade 10.07b available for all programs.

All programs should download and run this upgrade as soon as possible. It implements a variety of changes discussed in the documentation, including changes to the batch pay process preventing automatic transfer of copays and deductibles to DPH consistent with the new "First Dollar Coverage" policy.

Here is the up1007b.exe upgrade.  Right-click on the link and "Save As" to your desktop.  Then run it using the password you will receive by email.  The file is about 25MB in size, so it will take at least a few minutes to download on a fast internet connection.   Some Internet providers cut off large downloads early, without warning, so make sure the file you receive is the full size.  It is too large to download over a dial-up connection.  If you have any trouble downloading the upgrade, please contact me and I will send you a CD -- Larry

Here is the update documentation.

4/22/10 - Upgrade 10.04b still available for all programs.
