Denticon allows:
· an insurance plan to be attached to patient’s record
· the patient’s record be marked to “Assign Benefits to the Patient”
· an insurance claim can be generated for the treatment as a courtesy service for the patient
To mark a patient’s record to "Assign Benefits to Patient":
· in Patient Information section, click the Edit button
· place a checkmark in the "Assign Benefits to Patient" box
· click the Save button
As a result, the patient will be fully responsible for all charges and an insurance claim form can be generated as a courtesy service.
All payments made for treatment will be recorded as patient-received payments in the Transactions/Transaction Entry screen, on the Payments/Adjustments tab.
The generated insurance claim will automatically be marked as “Closed” because the office does not anticipate receiving the insurance reimbursement payment. The Closed claim will not appear on Reports/Outstanding Claims reports since the office does not expect to receive the insurance reimbursement payment.
