Insurance Estimates and Payments

Each entry row is a Claim Procedure. Estimates are usually automatic, based on the Insurance Plan. If an estimate doesn't look right or is missing, first make sure the Insurance Plan is set up correctly.

Ins Plan: Insurance Plan associated to the estimate. Lists carrier and subscriber information.

Pri/Sec: Notes insurance type. (i.e., Pri, Sec, Med). Blank indicates Other.

Status: Claim status. Est indicates insurance estimates are not yet attached to a claim.

Copay: Patient copay. This is different than Est. Patient Portion.

Deduct: Deductible amount applied to the procedure.

Percent: Insurance coverage percentage.

Ins Est: Insurance payment estimate.

Ins Pay: For received claims, this is the actual insurance payment.

Write-off: For outstanding claim or estimates this is the estimated write-off. For received claims, this is the actual write-off amount.

Estimate Note : Shows automatically-generated notes that affect estimates (e.g., annual max, exclusions)

Remarks: Remarks from EOB entered on a received claim.

Double-click an insurance estimate row to open the Claim Procedure window. From this window, users can enter manual overrides to the insurance estimate as needed.

Important Notes:

• Each procedure can have only one estimate per insurance plan.
• If a user creates a Treatment Plan before entering the insurance plan, fees may need to be updated to affect estimates. See Fees Update.

To manually add an additional estimate (i.e., there is no estimate existing for the insurance):

1. Click Add Estimate.
2. If multiple insurances exist for the patient, select the insurance to add the estimate for.
   
   • Show plans for family which are not in use by the current patient: Click to show all plans for the patient, even those that are currently dropped.
3. Once insurance has been selected, or if only one insurance exists for the patient, the Edit Claim Procedure Window will open.
4. Enter the estimate information and click OK.

Adding an estimate to a procedure for an insurance plan that already has an existing estimate will open the existing estimate.
