Assigning sliding fee schedules to patients

You can assign a sliding fee schedule to a patient. To determine how much the patient pays per procedure, you need to know the size and annual income of the patient's family.

To assign a sliding fee schedule to a patient

1. When entering or updating patient information, on the Basic Info tab, select Sliding fees from the Discount Plan list.

   The options for setting up the discount appear.

   

2. Set up the following options:

   • Family size - Enter the number of people in the patient's family.

   • Annual family income - Enter the annual income of the patient's family.

   For your reference, the Poverty level and the percent or amount that the Patient pays per procedure or visit are calculated automatically when you press the Tab key or click (or tap) elsewhere in the dialog box.

3. Click (or tap) Save.
