Contract has Surplus Functionality |
If checked, then the Surplus functionality has been enabled for the Contract displayed in the adjacent dropdown box. Patients under this Contract can then be assigned a Surplus from the Additional Bill Info section of their profile Contracts tab. If assigned, a Surplus invoice is generated each month for that amount for the Surplus Contract listed here. That surplus amount is also deducted from invoices generated for the Patient’s regular Contract. |

Timely Filing Limit (Days) |
Generally, a Payer provides a deadline for how long after a visit’s scheduled date, an Agency can invoice for services provided. Enter the number of days in the Timely Filing Limit field to indicate this duration. This helps the Agency to run additional reports to identify and highlight visits that are approaching the deadline and have not yet been invoiced. |
||||||||||
Invoice Only One Daily Case Per Patient Per Day |
Select for the system to only invoice one visit with a Daily Rate Type per Patient Per Day of Service. If the Patient is scheduled with multiple visits with a Daily rate type on a single day, then one visit is invoiced for the full daily amount while the other Daily visit types are invoiced as non-billable service. This option is activated by HHAeXchange. Information pulled up by this function is for reference only. |
