Posting Credit Card Insurance Payments

You can post a payment using a single-use credit card from an insurance company as you would a regular credit card.

Insurance credit card payments can be posted using the card swiper, or you can post the payment manually, if a swiper is not available.

The following codes have been added to the ADA code list for new offices (or offices who have not renamed codes):

11.93 MasterCard Insurance Payment
12.93 VISA Insurance Payment
13.93 Discover Insurance Payment
14.93 American Express Insurance Payment

For offices that are using renamed credit card codes, the first available extension, starting with .93, will be used. For example: If your office uses code 17 for VISA, and you are not using code 17.93, the system will assign code 17.93 as the VISA Insurance Payment code for your practice. If code 17.93 is already in use, the next available extension (.94) is used, and so on.

If your office has used all of the reserved extensions for a particular credit card type, a message is displayed, stating that you must manually set up the code – first in the ADA/Transactions Code List window and then in the Practice Information window.

Only codes entered in the Insurance Payment by section on the Default ADA tab of the Practice Information window are available for credit card processing and claim attachment.
