Enter Values for the Financial Class/Payer Parameter

For some task types that have a source type of Encounter, you can select either financial classes or payers for one of the parameters. Then, you must select an associated bucket (COB 1, COB 2, COB 3, or Private Pay). These actions can be used for tracking your secondary and tertiary payers. The following is an example of an action before and after values are entered:
  • Encounter is greater than 0 days old from <Unknown> and 3rd party balance is between $0.00 and $0.00 for <financial class/payer> <Unknown> where <financial class/payer> is <Unknown>
  • Encounter is greater than 60 days old from <Create Date> and 3rd party balance is between $25.00 and $50.00 for <payer> <Sure Pay Insurance> where <payer> is <COB 3>
The unpaid balance is in the <X> bucket (where X represents the 3rd party balance, COB1 balance, and so on). The Financial Class/Payer directly relates to the COB order.

To set the Financial Class/Payer parameter, perform the following steps:

  1. On the Task Types dialog box, activate and then open an action.
    The Task Type Options dialog box displays.

  2. For the appropriate parameter, select Financial Class or Payer.
  3. For the next parameter, select the Open Record button.
    The Financial Class or Payers dialog box displays.

  4. Use the arrows to move the items from the Available list to the Included list, and then select OK.
  5. For the appropriate parameter, select COB 1, COB 2, COB 3, or Private Pay.
