Creating Outpatient Setup

Only available if the Facility transitioned to enhanced billing.

When an Outpatient Payer is created and enabled in your facility, you see the Outpatient view within your Resident Listing.

You can create Outpatient census entries to track Active and Inactive Outpatient Residents after Outpatient Setup is enabled.

This process consists of multiple steps.

Allow Outpatients in Setup

Do the following:
- Admin > Setup > AR Configuration
- Select Allow Outpatients and Save.

Create the Outpatient Payer

Do one of the following:
- Single facility: Admin > Setup > Payers
- Multi-facility: Management Console > Standards > Financial Management > Payers
Click New.
Payer Type - Select Outpatient.
Outpatient Pay Source - Select Private.
Complete the fields as required.
Click Save.
Select facilities link to enable Payer.
Navigate to the facility level: Admin > Setup > Payers > Activate the new Payer.

Create Start Date

Do the following:
- Admin> Setup > Payer Rules & Rate Schedules
- Select the Payer - Outpatient
- Click New.
- Complete the fields as required.

In the Resident Census entry under Payer Options, you can use the Payer Setup file to complete the billing for more than one Payer.
