Line Item Level by Dollar Amount

When you select Apply patient discount to patient balance only on the Charge Entry tab on the Practice Preferences window and the Line Item and Discount by dollar amount are selected on the Discount Adjustment Code window.

You can calculate patient discount amount to the selected charges on the encounter by dividing the patient amount for each charge by the total of all selected patient amounts, and then multiplying the % of total selected patient amounts by the dollar amount.

Patient Amount / Total of All Selected Patients Amounts = % of Total Selected Patient Amounts

% of Total Selected Patient Amounts x Dollar Amount = Discount Amount
