Definition

Here, you can specify the method to be used for paying the copayment credit memo.

Use

If a payment method was entered, only this payment method can be used for automatic payment transactions. If no payment method was entered, one of the payment methods which was allowed in the master record is chosen in the payment program according to predefined rules.

Procedure

Only specify a payment method if you deliberately want to deactivate the automatic payment method selection of the payment program for the copayment credit memo to the insurance provider. This setting can be quite useful if you want incoming payments made after final billing to be automatically transferred to the insurance provider by means of the FI payment program.
For this purpose, you can specify different payment methods in the normal payment method field and the payment after final billing field. You should only maintain the normal payment method field if you use the collection procedure without deduction from invoice. If you use the collection procedure with deduction from invoice, the payment method is never specified in the document for copayments that are transferred to another account since in this case a deduction is to be made.
For copayment documents with the payment method after final billing setting you could then start the payment program in order to transfer only those payments that were not displayed on the invoice addressed to the insurance provider.

Example

Copayment parameter:

Institution    normal payment    payment method after final billing

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

1    A    B
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Case 1: invoiced amount 1000.00 on 10/31/95
copayment 120.00 transfer posting on 10/20/95

Case 2: invoiced amount 1200.00 on 10/20/95
copayment 60.00 transfer posting on 10/31/95

Assuming both payments are settled with the health insurance company MediSave, the copayment for case 1 is added to the items on the invoice document (120.00 + 880.00) and the copayment method is not specified in the copayment document (providing the setting for the copayment method of MediSave supports collection procedure with deduction from invoice). For case 2 the copayment cannot be output on the invoice, since it was made after final billing (amount to be paid 1200.00). The system outputs the payment method B on the copayment document.
By means of the payment program, the copayment can be automatically transferred to the insurance provider MediSave.

For insurance providers using the collection procedure without deduction of costs, the copayment is never output on the invoice. In this case, the system determines the copayment method A on the copayment document, providing the transfer posting for the copayment was made before final billing of the case.
