Supported integrations
For now, adjustment types are only supported for Dentrix, Dentrix Enterprise, Eaglesoft, and Open Dental.
Overview
Adjustments modify a patient's ledger balance. Each adjustment has a type that explains why the balance was changed. Common types include:
- Insurance write-offs: Discounts based on provider agreements with insurance companies.
- Late fees: Extra charges for overdue payments.
- Employee discounts: Reduced fees for employees receiving care.
Adjustment types also have an action, which defines how they affect the balance:
Action | Effect on Balance |
---|---|
debit | Increases the amount the patient owes |
credit | Decreases the amount the patient owes |
unknown | The system does not specify whether it's a debit or credit adjustment |
Example use case
- When posting adjustments to charge patients for subscription fees, it's useful to add an adjustment type which conveys the adjustment's purpose.
