Quick Facts
the average doctor…
SCENARIO 1 Practice receives EOB which states that Insurance will cover all but $38.10:
I. Entry Clerk “Pulls” Up Patient And Makes Transaction Recur For Today For $38.10
II. Money in the Bank Jan Vs. Months Later
1) Patient Initial Visit (w/ JPOS)
2) Insurance Return (Explanation of Benefits)
3) Billing
From Activity Reports, we will look up the “Original Transaction” (the co-pay payment) with which the patient paid. We will use the stored card data, to collect the remainder.
SCENARIO 1
Here is the transaction we were looking for. Notice there are three buttons on the right, we will click the one labeled “Recur” to perform the transaction.
SCENARIO 1
Here are the transaction details for the original co-payment amount. We will click on the “Convert Transaction To Recur”.
SCENARIO 1
… after pulling up the original May 10th transaction, we can convert it into a “one time” recurring transaction to collect the outstanding $38.10 – The “Number of Recurs” is very important, if you are collecting an outstanding amount, you will enter “1”. If you leave at “0” it will continue to make the transaction recur indefinitely.

SCENARIO 2 Practice receives EOB which states that Insurance will cover all but $38.10, but patient did NOT pay with a credit card:
I. Doctor collects from patient via “Online Bill Pay” type solution (Order Form Generator)
II. Again, Money in the Bank much sooner Vs. Months Later
III. Saves thousands in billing costs by emailing invoices
