For ECLIPSE billing, the Health fund or Patient can be the payer. The instructions below are relevant to scenarios where you need to manually receipt an ECLIPSE payment for a voided invoice - and the Health fund is the payer.
If the patient is the payer, follow this guide.
When payments are received for ECLIPSE claims, a single Payment ID may cover invoices for multiple patients. If a payment has been received for a voided invoice and it is a valid payment, a replacement invoice needs to be created. All invoices for the Payment ID may be receipted:
- individually through each patient's Account Enquiry, or
- collectively through the Account Payers Details, Payment Allocation screen.
The final step is to use the Manually Associate Receipts functionality in the Claims screen to enable the reconciliation of the full payment.
Step 1 - Create a replacement invoice:
- Go to Zedmed's Management tab.
- Select Claims.
- Select the Payments tab.
- Double-click the applicable Payment ID with the voided invoice to display it in the Claims tab, expand the ID and take a screenshot or use the Print Report button.
- Right-click on the patient name with the voided invoice ($0 in the Outstanding column) and select Patient Details.
