Frequently Asked Questions
While most issues will be avoided if following the HCAI Checklist closely, occasionally an error may occur that prevents a plan or invoice to submit to HCAI.
How to keep track of remaining treatment plans from past software?
1) Create an Insurance profile for the patient using a custom insurance company.
(i.e. MVA Remainder)
Enter the Default Policy Rules with a Maximum $ Per Visit amount matching the amount remaining on the active treatment plan.
Set the Coverage Reset to Do not Reset and ensure the Percent Coverage is set to 100%.
As this will not be invoiced, and only used for tracking, you will not need to enter any other fields (policy/id, etc)
2) Create a Treatment Plan with the remaining products/services attached as well as the insurance created in the previous step, set it to Default and manually adjust the status to read as approved.
(Note, manually forcing a status is a permission set in User Types)
This treatment plan can be titled to provide a reminder. (i.e. Tracking Remaining MVA)
When booking an appointment for this patient, the treatment plan you have created will be selected by default, and using the Treatment Plan hotlinks, you are able to keep track of the remaining products or services as you invoice them.
Note: You will still be required to bill for these remaining treatment plans using either your previous software or directly on HCAI's portal.

Ensure the MVA/HCAI insurance is set to Order 1 (in the Treatment Plans' Insurance tab) while the Extended Health Benefits insurance is set to Order 2. Once approved, you can switch the order back if you prefer to have the Extended Health insurance be selected first when booking the patient's appointment, as long as the treatment plan is also set to default. |

Ensure the Product/Service attached to the plan has the correct Code, Quantity of Measure, and the Covered by Insurance setting is set to 'Yes'. |

The Policy Number on the plan referenced by the Plan Number does not match the Policy Number on this invoice. |
Ensure the correct insurance(s) is/are selected in the Treatment Plan's Insurance tab. The HCAI Insurance must be first in order, with any Extended Health Benefits left as second and third if applicable. |
| Make Cheque Payable to Must be Provided | First, verify the correct clinic was selected when creating the consolidated invoice.
