Note:
If your Bluechip registration has expired, you will not be able to update fees. Contact MedicalDirector Customer Service for assistance.
The Bluechip MBS-RMFS Fees Update file can be obtained:

You will have the option to download and install the update immediately, or download it to a predefined location (configured in the MedicalDirector Automatic Update's Preferences window) for manual installation, later.
      Note:
