How to create a claim
There are 2 ways to claim an appointment:
A. From the Accounting tab you can create a manual Claim.
B. From a patient’s appointment on the schedule.
A. How to create a manual Claim
1. Go to Accounting>New Claim. The New Claim screen will pop up.
2. The Invoice Date will default to the current day’s date. To change the invoice date (THIS IS NOT THE APPOINTMENT DATE), use the arrow keys and click on the calendar icon to open it and select an invoice date.
3. On the left side of the screen you will see Patient Name field. Type the patient's name or date of birth on the patient line and select the patient from the drop down list.
To add a new patient click the down arrow at the end of the Patient Name field. The Quick Patient creation input box will open.
Note: Alberta Health requires the information for the fields with an asterisk.
4. Adjust the date for a back dated appointment, and finally select a tariff (fee code) and press the Add button to add the tariff to the claim.
5. From the Appointment Details section, If your clinic has only one practitioner, the practitioner’s name will default.
TIP: Setting a default Doctor/Practitioner in a claim is only an option available in Administrator profiles. Open the administrator profile. On the Profile page, locate the Default Practitioner/Doctor field and select the Practitioner/Doctor as the default then Save.
If your clinic has more than one practitioner, select the correct Practitioner by typing in the name on the practitioner line.
6. Enter the Tariff/Service Code, select Go. The description will auto populate and the Modifier field will appear.
7. Enter the Modify code.
8. Select Add at the bottom of the claim. The description and total will move to the left side of the claim.
9. Review the claim to ensure everything is entered then select Save.
B. Create a Claim from a patients appointment on the schedule
