Applying a Payment to Claims from an Insurer

When you receive a payment from an Insurer, you can either apply it to claims or add it as a credit to be applied to claims at a later date.

Please Note when Paying Claims

Claims are attached to invoices.  If you need to mark a claim as paid, it must be done from the Insurer Payment section. If you apply a payment to an invoice, it will not mark the claim as paid. 

If a patient/client is responsible for part of an insured invoice (for example, Co-Pay), you apply for the payment through the invoice, and the transaction is marked as TRN-123123 (as an example). 

If payment is applied to a claim, it will be marked on the invoice as TRN-565565, but it is proceeded by a shield icon representing an insurer payment.
