Questions and Answers

The uncollected amount for a procedure does not reflect the insurance estimate/payment and write-off. Why?

Procedures only reflect an insurance estimate when a claim has been created. Create a claim to reflect the insurance estimate. Insurance payments must be added By Procedure to affect the report. If an insurance payment was added By Total, it idoes not affect the procedure.

The account balance is at zero but the report is still showing an uncollected patient portion. Why?

Payments must be specifically attached to a procedure to affect the uncollected portion. See Income Transfer for instructions on allocating existing payment to a procedure.
