Using Other Bills 

Use Other Bills when you do not have to send a statement to the payer. The transactions appear on a billing log for your reference.  

For example, Public Guardian and Trustee is the responsible payer for residents at your facility. They automatically send you the monthly amount owed without requiring a resident statement. You can set the payer up with a bill form of Other to generate the transactions to a Payer Billing Log.

To use Other Bills, in Payer Setup the Bill Form selected is Other.  

  1. Billing Portal > Generate Bills > Other Bills

  3. Enter a Through Date - The Through Date usually appears the end of the current system month (the month for which you are billing). You can enter a different date if billing for a different month or billing period.

  4. Billing Type - Select Trial.  Verify what is being billed and identify any errors that require correction previous to Real Bill.  After verifying the Trial billing, select the Real option.

  5. Select the Payer(s) - If you do not want to generate the Real billing for all payers at this time, you can clear the check boxes for payers and generate them later. Click refresh if you cleared a payer to update the list of residents.

  6. Select the Residents(s). 

  8. Verify the charges in the billing log for each resident for accuracy and make any necessary corrections to the resident census, payer setup, demographic information and ancillary charges.

  9. Select Billing Type  Real to update  the database.

  • You should generate transactions after any corrections to update the billing and information and transactions.

  • Other Bills should be generated monthly.

  • You can generate a trial billing log as often as needed until all transactions are correct.
