Patient/Guarantor Payment Application
If you are applying a patient/guarantor payment, you will follow the same process listed above under Insurance Payment Application with one exception. You will not see a Complete box when applying patient/guarantor payments.
The purpose of the complete box is to allow billing of the next responsible party. The patient/guarantor is the last responsible party. There is nobody to move the balance to. For this reason, there is no complete box on the Apply Payment to Charges screen.
Patient/Guarantor Co-pay Application
If you are applying a patient/guarantor co-payment, the most important thing to remember is to choose a co-payment code and not a regular payment code. When applying the patient/guarantor co-payment, a new button will appear called Apply To Co-pay.
The Apply To Co-pay button will work similarly to the Apply To Oldest button. It will apply the co-payment to the oldest procedure code requiring a co-payment. In most cases, there should only be one procedure code requiring a co-payment, however if there was a missed co-pay for a previous visit, the Apply To Co-pay button will apply to the first record requiring a co-payment.
