How do I bill an Insurance Company for a patient?

You may have the situation where a patient’s insurance company (e.g. BUPA or AXA PPP) are going to pay for their treatment. This means that invoices raised for that patient should actually be re-directed to the insurance company.

Here’s what to do :-

[1] Make sure that the Insurance Company has already been entered on your system. Insurance Companies should be entered into the CONTACTS database in ClinicOffice.

[2] Once the Insurance Company is on the system, you need to make sure that the patient’s record contains a link to the Insurance Company. To do this, open the PATIENT EDITOR (for the patient in question) and go to the  ‘Payment Information’ section to set the ‘Insurance Company’ field to the correct one and then click SAVE & CLOSE.

[3] When you create an Invoice for that patient, you will notice that ClinicOffice shows you a “Confirm Invoice Recipient” box which allows you to select whether this particular invoice goes to the patient or their insurance company.
