Solution:
There can be a couple different reasons why this
message could occur. Try the following:
#1 - Check insurance
coverage
-
Bring up the patient you are trying to bill,
and click on the Insurance/Dates tab.
-
Make sure the insurance you are trying to bill
is not archived.
-
Make a note of the exact spelling of the
insurance company you are trying to bill.
-
Go to Lists, Insurance and Medigap
Companies.
-
Double-click on that insurance with that
exact spelling. (NOTE: If you have more than one insurance
company with that exact same spelling, you will have to check each
one.)
-
If you are trying to bill electronically,
make sure that Fee for Service and Electronic are
selected. Also make sure the correct submitter is listed.
If you are trying to bill on paper, make sure that Fee for
Service and HCFA are selected.
#2 - Check the patient's
information
-
Go back to the patient. Make sure you are at
the Patient Detail tab.
-
Make sure the Bill Patient Only checkbox is
not checked.
#3 - Check the
transactions
-
Click on the patient's transactions tab.
-
Highlight one of the transactions you are
trying to bill.
-
Try the following:
a) Look the transaction line that is
highlighted, and make sure the Carrier is the name of
the Insurance Company you are trying to bill. If it isn't, click on
the I button, click Change
Insurance, and choose Primary.
b) Look down below the transaction line until
you see a checkmark next to Exclude from Insurance Billing.
Make sure that is not checked. If it is, uncheck it
and hit Save.
c) Look at the bottom right hand corner of the
transaction card until you see Date Billed. Date Billed
should be blank. If it isn't, follow the instructions to
reset a
reset a transaction so that this transaction can be billed.
