Adjusting ePostings Distribution Amounts

You can adjust distribution amounts from the ePostings Claims/Details window before posting the payment. Adjustments posted as write-offs are tracked by procedure, and are displayed in the patient's ledger for both primary and secondary claims, as well as the Insurance Estimate worksheet, and the patient's insurance claim transaction list.

After a payment is posted, if you discover that the distribution was not correct, you can correct this in the patient's ledger by adding adjustment transactions as necessary. You cannot edit the amount for a write-off, however, and must remove the entry and create a new adjustment.

To adjust the distribution amounts for an ePostings payment:

From the ePostings Payments window, select a payment and click View ePostings Claims/Details. The ePostings Claims/Details window is displayed, listing the claims associated with the selected payment.
You can also double-click an item in the list.

Select a claim in the list to display the associated line items in the PW Claim Info and ePostings Claim Info sections of the window.
Select the line item to adjust. The status and remarks for the line item are displayed at the bottom of the window.
Click Edit Distribution for Selected Adjustment, and then select one of the following:
