Create an Employer Account from Account Lookup

Before you begin

For statement and invoice billing, you must create the employer in the Employers master file in File Maintenance.

The application automatically creates an employer account when the employer is selected as the guarantor on a patient encounter for the first time. However, you can manually create an employer account so you can select that employer as the guarantor on a patient encounter.

  1. Open NextGen® Enterprise PM.
  2. From the main toolbar, select Account, and then in the Account Lookup window, enter the employer name in Employer/Last Name.
  3. Clear the People Accounts and Existing Accounts Only checkboxes, and then select Find.
  4. In Account List, double-click an employer to create the employer account profile.
    The Account Profile window opens and displays the new employer account.
  5. Optional: To view the details of each invoice billed to the account by SIM, in Account Profile, select Invoice Detail.

    For more information on invoices and charges, go to NextGen Healthcare Success Community, and download the latest Billing and Collections guide for NextGen® Enterprise PM.

  6. Optional: To print on-demand account statements from the Account Profile window, right-click a transaction, select Account Receipt, and then in the Print Account Receipt window, select Print.
    You can print multiple patient payments on a single account, multiple encounter payments for a single patient on the account, and non-payment statements.
    A message displays that the account receipt printing is in progress.
