Please note: this information likely only pertains to PGIDs that are in the 2XXX or lower range, as practice groups that have been created since then already have the Care Credit SubType applied.
Originally, Denticon did not provide a “Deposit Slip - Care Credit” report. These transactions were reported on the “Daily Journal-Detail” report. Based on requests from users, a “Deposit Slip - Care Credit” report was later implemented into the program.
The original payment type “PMT PAT-Care Credit” was programmed:
- Type = Payment
- SubType = not applicable (blank)
It is extremely likely that the original payment type has been used in past patient financial transactions. As a result, the existing payment type cannot be altered regarding the SubType. Denticon recommends indicating the payment type as a non-used code by editing the code, and inputting ZZ in front of the payment description. This will move the previously existing code to the bottom of the payment code list, which will discourage users from utilizing the code in future payments.
