Example 1: A Patient pays a Copay at check-in. There is not yet a charge for it to be applied. The money remains in Escrow until the Receipt is posted to the Charge.
Example 2: An Insurance Receipt is added which puts the entire amount in Escrow. As the Insurance Payments are posted, the amount in the Escrow field is reduced until it reaches $0.00.
Why do I still have Money in Escrow?
- You did not post all of the Payments on the check.
- A Payment amount was posted incorrectly.
- The Payment total was entered incorrectly when creating the Receipt.
- There is money on the DWs and/or Holds that need to be posted.
- There are some Claim Level Adjustments at the bottom of the remit that need to be posted.
- There are some Reversals that have not been posted.
- You have Undone Insurance Payments (IPs) and/or Patient Payments (PPs), and they have not been reposted.
- An Undo is not a deletion.
- You have Reversed an Encounter that contained Payments.
- These Payments should be reposted.
- A Line Item was deleted that contained Payments.
- Payments should be reposted waiting on the Insurance takeback or refund.
- The Payments and adjustments can be reposted on another line item, or
- A zero charge can be entered to repost the Payment.
