Payments and Adjustments

PiMS meets the needs of the facility in providing functionality to post payments by account, by guarantor/responsible party grouping, or by claim within the account or by line item on the charge.

PiMS provides functionality to post payments against an individual line item charge on a claim within an account or to a guarantor balance. When batches are created, balancing totals are entered. Payments and adjustments are added to the batch for an active claim or a guarantor responsible amount. The payment or adjustment will not affect the account balance until the entire batch is posted. The batch is not transmitted, or posted to the accounts, if the control totals and the batch totals are out of balance. Users must balance the batch to complete the process.

Batches are created to initiate a control group of transactions and enter the balancing totals for the batch. Payments and adjustments are added to the batch for an active claim or guarantor responsible amount.

Batches can be printed for detail reconciliation. Each facility can control how long they require the batches to stay online before they are purged from the system.
