You can use the payment table to enter the dollar amount that an insurance plan pays for specific procedures. As you receive payment from insurance providers, you may update the insurance coverage. The actual payment information is stored in the payment table. You can either enter procedures into the payment table manually, or if you itemize insurance payments, you can update the payment table whenever you post a payment to a claim.
Important:
· Updating or changing any benefit and coverage information will affect all patients who subscribe to the selected group plan.
· If a procedure is in the coverage table and the payment table, the amount in the payment table overrides the amount in the coverage table.
· Out-of-network payment and allowed amounts table entries are for information only and are not included in insurance estimate calculations.
