When implementing ResiDex Billing you must understand some of the terms that will be mentioned during the process. We have outlined some of those terms in this document.
Fee for service billing is defined as billing for one or more services based on the service occurrence. This would include the three "charge types" of variable, fixed, and fixed count.
A Supplemental Package can incorporate any charge that is billed on a monthly or daily basis. A resident can have multiple Supplemental Packages. A resident may also have a Care Package along with Supplemental Package(s).
This article will primarily address how to set up the "Payer" section of the Fee and Payer screen. The setup varies slightly if you have multiple payers such as waiver and private pay or private pay only.
If you plan to manually enter charges into the resident charge screen, you will first need to set up those charges. They can be items such as rent, supplemental packages, care packages, and services, and "other charges".
When a resident moves in and your company has "pre-billed" charges, you need to manually enter those for the first partial month. The pre-billed items are billed the previous month prior to the resident moving in. The resident's first invoice that will be posted will contain:
Manually entered items that would have been pre-billed the month before
Automatically created pre-billed items that are generated after the invoice lines are created
