This article will help you create and manage Slip & Fall invoices.
There are two ways to create and manage Slip & Fall invoices and they vary based on whether or not a Treatment Plan is used to track patient visits.
Tip: A treatment plan helps to track down patient visits and provide with reassessment reminders. For more information, see the Manage Built-In Alerts article.
To perform the following procedures, open the Patient Manager, select a Patient from the list on the left, then open a patient’s Slip & Fall Case and click the Account Activity tab. By default, the Invoices & Payments tab opens under Account Activity.
