How to Bill First-Aid Cases

Summary

Some employers want all first-aid cases to be billed to the company instead of the Workers' Comp carrier. If the visit is entered as an injury visit, it will by default be billed to the carrier. The only way to change this is to enter an override payer.

There are two fields in the software related to this which are for reference only-the program does not actually use the information. The MEDICAL tab of the [Enter Incident] record has a checkbox labeled This Incident Required First Aid Only. The BILLING tab of the [Enter Company] window has a checkbox labeled Bill and Mail All First-Aid Only Case Bills to the Employer. Do not check these thinking that they will cause first-aid visits to automatically be invoiced to the employer.

Steps To Bill First-Aid Cases to the Employer

1. When you are entering the visit record, click the BILLING tab.

2. Click Override payer.

3. Select Company.

the program will also check the box Follow-up Billing payer Type on the [Enter Incident] window. As a result, follow-up visits for this injury will automatically be billed to the employer without your taking further action.
