Divide an Invoice Between Patient and Insurance

Filopto can track for you the amount paid or to be paid by the Patient or Insurance company.  

 

Filopto can assign parts of an invoice charge to patients and insurance with each paying for their respective amounts. 

 

You can divide an invoice Line item charge between both, by assigning the amount to be paid in the invoice Line Item detail screen.  You can divide the unit price (1) by placing a check mark in the insurance section (3) and then defining the amount the insurance is to pay (4). The invoice will assign the Patient Sub-Total (2), $100 in this example, to the Patient and the Insurance subtotal $95.00 (4) to the insurance. 

 

Another example, would be to have two line items, the eye exam to be paid 100 % by the Insurance  and the Frames to paid in total by the patient.  (You can also do portion of each item as above) When the patient pays the amount due, (the frames) for example it will show that the patient paid the amount.

 

Some clients do not want to use a single Invoice but rather like to create two (2) invoices;

1) one for the patient and

2) another for the insurance company. 

 
Filopto can handle both of these scenarios. (some organizations do not want the Patient to see what is being charged to the insurance company. Note that in some jurisdictions this practice of creating 2 invoices is not permitted, the patient must see the full cost of all fees. Verify your jurisdiction legal requirements before using two separate invoices for the same patient visit.
