Keying CMS-1563 • The intermediary uses existing RLINK dialup instructions. • The intermediary keys the letter "L" to bring up blank CMS-1563. • The intermediary enters a valid 5 digit intermediary number. It uses the tab key to move from column to column. • The intermediary enters the reporting period using numeric designation month and year, e.g., 0102 for January 2002. • The intermediary enters two-position alpha State code. • The intermediary completes each column of data. Fields with zero need not be keyed. The system will presume all blank fields to be zero. • The intermediary does not key dollar signs or commas in money fields. It keys only whole dollar amounts. • After completing the form, the intermediary keys F1. The system will edit and print any error messages on the line above "contractor number." The intermediary tabs to the incorrect field and rekeys a correct entry. When the form passes all edits, the line will read "record has been written."
