Why does Denticon recommend to use the “Ortho Payment Plan Agreement” instead of charging the full amount of the ortho procedure directly into the Ledger?

There are the two major reasons Denticon advises to utilize an orthodontic payment plan contract for all orthodontic treatment.

First, the account will age only the periodic amount which is due during a specific period of time. If the full ortho treatment is charged to the ledger, the account begins aging the procedure’s full amount from that time. The account will quickly be in the "over 120" column, yet the patient is current on payments

Additionally, the applicable insurance claim will generate for only the amount expected for a particular date. The original/initial claim would be able to be paid and closed. The interim/additional insurance amounts due will generate a claim ledger transaction at the appropriate time, toward which the interim insurance payment would apply, and the interim claim would be paid and closed.
