Supported integrations
For now, adjustment types are only supported for Dentrix, 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.
