Performing Financial Functions > Using the Financial Functions -- Charges and Payments Window > Posting Charges and Payments
A discount feature is available, which enables you to offer a responsible party a discount on all non-contract procedures for which you have assigned dollar amounts.
The discount can be used for senior citizens, charity groups, and so on, and is automatically applied to every charge you post, including visit charges. The discount is associated with the responsible party, so all patients linked to that responsible party receive the discount.
This discount is not used with contracts. To apply a discount to a contract, you must use the Discount Adjustment function. See Making a Discount Adjustment for more information.
To use the discount feature:
In the Financial Functions — Charges and Payments window, click the Overview tab.
In the Discount field, type the
discount amount as a percentage, using a slash or the percent sign.
Each of your procedures is displayed in the Procedures window and on
the ledger with the discounted amount next to it. Example
