Post Claims Automatically

When a claim is recorded it can be sent to a queue for final review.  The claim will not appear in the Patients’ or Payers register until the claim is Posted.

Check this Box if you want to automatically post claims as soon as they are recorded.

Check Posted Claims cannot be modified, if you want to disable the ability to edit or delete claims that have already been posted.

 

Financial Reporting Options

Aging Dates

Financial reports can be based on the claim service date or the claim posting date.  These reports include the patient and payer aging report, the Transaction list, the Day Sheet, CPT Usage reports, and the Diagnosis summary report.

Patient Register and Statement Dates

The patient register and patient statement will normally show the Service dates for each claim item.  If you choose, you can alternatively use the posting date.

Patient is not responsible for payment until insurance has responded

If this box is checked, a patients’ balance will not include claims that are still waiting on a response from the Primary and/or secondary payer.  For example, if a patient has primary insurance and a secondary, if a claim is filed for the patient and you print a patient statement, the claim will not appear on the statement until both payers have responded to the claim.  A response is automatically assumed as soon as an Insurance Payment, Adjustment, or Comment is posted to any of the line items on the claim.

If this box is not checked, then the Patients’ statement will include the claim amounts as soon as the claim is posted.

Allow Manual forcing if insurance response and aging dates

Check this box to enable the ability to manually mark a claims response flag.  You will also be able to remove the response flag.  See the section on the Patient Register for more information.
