Fees and Payers Setup
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.
Payer Section - Private Pay Only: The payer section will simply just indicate "private" as the payer and "resident" in the program ID. No other payer or contract amount will be entered.
Payer Section - Multiple Payers/Waiver Payer
When using this option we want to turn on the campus configuration option to "Restrict the program names in payer screen". This is turned on for many campuses and will be noticeable because the program name will be a select from list option instead of a free type field. If you have waiver payers and your fee and payer screen does not have a drop down list in the program name column JLIB_HTML_CLOAKING to turn it on for you.
- Select the Payer
- Select the payer name
- Enter the contract adjustment (when applicable)
An example of what this may look like:
| Payer | Name | Contract | Period |
| Private | Services - Private | 248.00 | Month |
| Elderly Waiver | Services - E.W. | 986.00 | Month |
| Alternative Grant | Rent - GRH | 483.00 | Month |
The following items will be set up the same for all residents:
- Supplemental Packages
- Rent
- Care Packages
The PAYER section will automatically create an adjustment to make the charge total match the CONTRACT AMOUNTS ENTERED. If the contract amount matches the billable amount exactly, there is no need to enter a contract rate. For example: if a person is private pay for rent onlyand they will pay the entire rent, set it up as follows:
| Payer | Name | Contract | Period |
| Private | Rent - Private | Month | |
| Elderly Waiver | Services - E.W. | 786.00 | Month |
In the above scenario the rent will invoice the client what the spcified amount is in the "Rent" section of the fee and payer screen AND any supplemental packages that indicate "rent". It would indicate "rent" if the supplemental package is marked as "non-service revenue".
