After Discharge: Hospital Patient Administration

When the patient becomes liable for an outstanding amount that was due by the medical aid, we need to shift the outstanding amount to the patient or medical aid. To do this we have to select the right debtor on the case management screen 

• When the debtor is highlighted choose the Account button.

TAKE NOTE: that the current outstanding amount is lying against the medical aid.

• Right-click on the invoice line in the accounts screen and then click on Shift the outstanding amount to Patient or Shift outstanding amount to medical aid, depending on where you want to assign liability.
• A Single account journal appears where you have to type in a journal description.

• Now the patient will be liable for the full account or part of the account moved.

• The same applies if you want to move the liability from the patient to the Medical aid.
