Invoice adjustments
Adjustments, cancellations and write-offs to invoices are made using Patient Billing History, Account Holder History, or Online claiming batches.
- To adjust an invoice, highlight an unpaid invoice and press Adjust. You can only adjust an invoice that has not been paid in part or whole.
- To cancel an invoice, highlight an unpaid invoice and press Cancel. You cannot cancel an invoice that is partly or fully paid.
- To write off an invoice, highlight an unpaid or partly paid invoice and press Write off.
Can I reverse a write-off?
There should be no need to reverse a write-off for a whole invoice. Create a new invoice if necessary. However, if a part-paid invoice has been written off and a practice needs to undo a write-off status to correct a payment, Bp Premier Support are able to provide a script to reverse a partial write-off.
Viewing invoice adjustments
Say Invoice No 95 was created for item 23 for $65.00, and was adjusted and the item changed to item 36 for $95.00.
When you first open the Patient Billing History screen, the system shows only active invoices so you only see the current state of each invoice. Invoice 95 is listed only once with its current value of $95.00.
To see all adjustments made to invoices, tick the Include adjustments checkbox.
Payment adjustments
Adjustments or reversals of payments are made using Patient Billing History or Account Holder History:
- To adjust a payment, highlight a payment and press Adjust.
- To reverse a payment, highlight a payment and press Reverse.
