Adjustment Types

🚧

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:

ActionEffect on Balance
debitIncreases the amount the patient owes
creditDecreases the amount the patient owes
unknownThe 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.
