State Tax

State Tax

State Tax can be set up to be added to the Insurance screen.

Alert
Contact Support or your Implementation Manager to activate this feature.

State Tax is only billed to the Primary Insurance.

  • State Tax is calculated from the Charged Amount, not the Allowed Amount, which can cause the secondary adjustments to be incorrect.

  • Therefore, the State Tax is calculated based on the Primary Payer setting in the Insurance Library.

  • All other Payers on the Encounter are not in consideration for State Tax.
