Splitting a Charge Amount

You can split the amount attached to a procedure between the responsible party and insurance carrier.

An insurance carrier must be attached to the patient/responsible party in order to split a charge amount.

To split a charge amount:

In the Amount field, press Tab or Enter to move the cursor to the Patient field, or click the Patient field.
If you selected a procedure code using the Procedures window, press Shift+Enter or click the Patient field.

Type the patient's portion of the charge as a dollar amount or as a percentage. (Type the amount followed by the percent sign or a forward slash.) Press Tab. The software automatically enters the remaining amount in the Insurance field.

If the patient portion or insurance portion is changed, the software automatically calculates the remaining amount so that the two amounts equal the total charge.
Press Enter or Tab to continue with another charge.
