The first method may be preferable when entering Insurance Payments for one patient, billing, or date of service. The second method is preferable when entering Insurance Payments for multiple patients (from one insurance\/check).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To enter Insurance Payments on a billing-by-billing basis, go to Billing, then Charges and Payments, then the Charges and Payments option under that. Select the desired Patient Chart, then the Billing. Highlight the charge-line to be paid\/adjusted, then click Detail, then Pay Item (F5 hotkey).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"623\" height=\"390\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.2kmedicalbilling.net\/Lytec-Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/image.png?resize=623%2C390&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-968\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.2kmedicalbilling.net\/Lytec-Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/image.png?w=623&amp;ssl=1 623w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.2kmedicalbilling.net\/Lytec-Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/image.png?resize=300%2C188&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 623px) 100vw, 623px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The \u201cPay Item\u201d window will appear. Click the Payment button, then click Add. A new payment\/adjustment line will appear. Enter the Payment Date (Check Date). Lookup or enter the desired Insurance Payment code under the \u201cTX Code\u201d column. Optionally, enter a Check Number, Remittance Number, or other information, under the \u201cReference\u201d column (Tip: If you enter values in a consistent format, you can use the \u201cReference\u201d field to search for all payments from a certain Check Number when running certain reports). Enter the Payment amount under the \u201cPayment\u201d column.

In the window that appears, first make sure ALL of the fields on the right-side under \u201cCodes\u201d are filled out (even if you don\u2019t intend on using some of them, they must all be filled out).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"623\" height=\"344\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.2kmedicalbilling.net\/Lytec-Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/image-2.png?resize=623%2C344&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-970\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.2kmedicalbilling.net\/Lytec-Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/image-2.png?w=623&amp;ssl=1 623w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.2kmedicalbilling.net\/Lytec-Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/image-2.png?resize=300%2C166&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 623px) 100vw, 623px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Enter the Payment Date.

Enter the Payment Amount (this does not include adjustments, just Payments). If any, enter the Total charge backs amount. If you have trouble finding the items being paid in the next steps, you may need to check the Show zero and negative balance billings option (you may return to check this option even after proceeding, by using the \u201cBack\u201d button). If this is and EFT Payment (Electronic Funds Transfer), select that option. Click Next to proceed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"623\" height=\"344\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.2kmedicalbilling.net\/Lytec-Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/image-3.png?resize=623%2C344&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-971\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.2kmedicalbilling.net\/Lytec-Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/image-3.png?w=623&amp;ssl=1 623w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.2kmedicalbilling.net\/Lytec-Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/image-3.png?resize=300%2C166&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 623px) 100vw, 623px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Start off by selecting a Patient in the top-left corner. Billings, and individual dates of service will display below. When posting Insurance payments, it is highly recommended to make the entries in the lower half of the window, at the line-item level as opposed to the Billing level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Enter payment amounts for line items being paid, under the Apply column. Optionally; You can make the payment entry a \u201cPartial Payment\u201d (which leaves the responsibility at that payer), by checking the \u201cPart.\u201d check-box. Enter any adjustments under the Write-Off\u2026 columns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The system will keep a running tally of what has not yet been applied from the total payment amount. Optionally; Click Navigate to view entries made so far. Click Next, to begin the process for the next patient, or click Post when finished.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There are two different ways to enter Insurance Payments in Lytec, (1) on a billing-by-billing basis, or (2) in bulk via the \u201cApply Insurance Payment Wizard\u201d.
