Creating Employer Accounts

Help Guide for NextGen® Enterprise PM 8

Employer Accounts Overview

You can create an employer account when the employer is selected as the guarantor on a patient’s encounter for the first time. You can also generate statements for the employer’s account that include encounters with outstanding self-pay balances. A guarantor can have only one account applicable for one or more patients, each with one or more encounters. For example, an employer is a guarantor on several encounters for the employees who are seen for pre-employment physicals or drug screens. An employer account can also be manually created for an employer that billed by invoice. For example, the practice may participate in a flu shot clinic conducted at an employer’s facility and that employer is billed by invoice for the flu injections provided to their employees. NextGen® Enterprise PM assigns each account a unique account number that you can find on the employer's Account Profile window. The account number is printed on statements and invoices sent to the employer. The Account Profile
