Recurring Charges Overview

Recurring charges efficiently manage resident charges that occur on a daily or monthly basis. When a resident is on a bed hold or leave of absence, you can define whether the charge on leave/hold is applicable or not. In addition, you can define if the system should prorate the charges upon return.

Recurring charges record charges for goods and/or services that your facility routinely provides to residents at a specific daily or monthly charge amount, such as cable fees, laundry charges, and private room differentials. When a resident with recurring charges is on a bed hold or leave of absence, you see a warning under Recurring Charges on the A/R Profile.

When a resident is on leave, generating transactions during the pre-billing process shows the full amount. When a resident returns from a bed hold or leave of absence, the system pro-rates the amount, if this option is selected, and charges for only when the resident is in the facility.

  • The details of the recurring charges are set up in the Charge/Adjustment Codes and Charge Code Amounts Setup links in Billing Setup. If changes to charge codes are needed, contact your system administrator.

  • When a resident returns from a bed hold/LOA, recurring charges may be recalculated based on the Service Plan Rules, if applicable.
