In a Procedure, at the bottom, is the Financial tab.

This tab shows insurance estimates and payments, patient payments, attached adjustments, and any procedure discounts.

Insurance Estimates and Payments

Each entry row is a Claim Procedure. Estimates are usually automatic based on the Insurance Plan. If an estimate doesn't look right or is missing, first make sure the insurance plan is set up correctly.

• Each procedure can have only one estimate per insurance plan.
• The status column indicates the status of the claim. Est indicates estimates that are not yet attached to a claim.
• If you create a Treatment Plan before entering the insurance plan, you may need to update fees to affect estimates. See Fees Update.

If the insurance plan is correct but you still need to make a change, there are some situations where you can manually edit an estimate.

• Override the estimate: Maybe you got a pretreatment estimate back from insurance or you have a fee schedule to follow. Double click on the estimate row, then enter a different amount for Insurance Estimate. You can also override percentages, allowed amounts, copays, etc.
• Do Not Bill to Ins: Check when you do not want to send the procedure to insurance. If, on the Procedure Code, this procedure is set up as Do Not Usually Bill to Ins, the box will be checked by default.

To manually add an estimate:

1. Click Add Estimate.
2. If multiple insurances exist for the patient, select the insurance to add the estimate for.
   
   • Show plans for family which are not in use by the current patient: Click to show all plans for the patient, even those that are currently dropped.
3. Once insurance has been selected, or if only one insurance exists for the patient, the Edit Claim Procedure Window will open.
4. Enter the estimate information and click OK.

Adding an estimate to a procedure on an insurance plan that already has an estimate will open the existing estimate.
