The billing feature allows your center to create invoices and statements, track client payments, and track client account balances. You can also create and track status for CMS 1500 claims, and record insurance payments received and adjustments required. By default, the billing feature is not active. To use billing:
1. | From the calendar screen, click Settings > System Settings. |
3. | Click the Activate Billing Module check box. |
4. | If desired, click to enable security for billing. Use the pull down menu to select the user security levels that will have unrestricted access to billing actions. (Note: To permit only select users access to billing, consider setting user-level permissions instead of security role permissions. User permission can be set to view only, add, modify all or deny.) |
5. | If desired, click to activate the Supervisor field on invoices. |
6. | If desired, click to turn on the prompt to copy the supervisor from the prior invoice or insurance claim item. |
If using insurance billing only, click here for instructions. For invoice billing, continue to the next step.
7. | Click the Billing Code list button. |
8. | Use the list screen to create a list of items for which clients will be invoiced. |
9. | If desired, click the check box to add a supervisor field to invoices. (Note: This may be required when clients are submitting invoices for insurance reimbursement and the provider seen for service is practicing under supervision of a licensed provider.) |
10. | If desired, click the check box to add a diagnosis field to invoices. (Note: This may be required when clients are submitting invoices for insurance reimbursement.) |

16. | If you have chosen to add diagnosis to invoices and statements, from the pull down menu, choose the diagnostic classification system to be used when creating invoices. (Note: At least one system must be active and set as the default classification system on the Notes & Data Forms tab > Diagnosis Settings screen.) |
17. | If desired, use the pull down menu to change the default pay type from "check." |
18. | If desired, use the pull down menu to choose to use a custom header for statements, and enter the header in the Invoice and Statement header text box. (Note: Headers will print in plain text format.) |
