Insurance Recouped Payment
Remits that include recouped payments along with currently processed and paid claims require 'reversing' payment amounts within the claims manager in order to balance correctly. If payers simply request a refund, that process can be done within the patient's ledger using adjustment codes.
Complete the Remit information in Insurance Payment Posting. Check amount should be the actual amount of the check, and not the Payment Amount.
