Running the Reset Insurance Rollover Date Utility

Run this utility to identify and reset accounts in which the last rollover date in the patient’s Guarantors/Insurance window is set to a future date. This problem can occur if a user forward-dates the computer and enters transactions for an account. If the last rollover date is set to a future date, the plan’s benefits will not roll over when the plan reaches its anniversary. As a result, insurance estimation may not take place when it should.

Using this utility, you can search all accounts for guarantors whose last rollover date is greater than the current date and reset the date to the plan’s last anniversary date.
