Defining a Discount

Before defining a discount, ensure that the:

Transaction to which the discount will be applied is added to the database
Code is posted for the discount credit transaction
Code description is printed on the patient’s statement
New credit code is created for each discount to generate reports that track its effectiveness
Code must be in the 50.00—60.89 range

Codes 50.90, 50.91, and 60.00 are reserved by the software and should not be edited.

You can redefine codes 50.00 and 58.90, but code 58.90 is predefined for transferring a balance to a patient budget plan. If you edit this code, ensure that the code is not entered in the Credit Code field in the Patient Budget Plan section of the General System Settings window.
