Supported integrations
For now, adjustments are only supported for Dentrix, Dentrix Enterprise, Eaglesoft and Open Dental.
Overview
Adjustments modify a patient’s balance. They’re often used to apply discounts, subscription fees, and insurance write offs to a patient’s ledger. Credits (negative adjustments) reduce the balance and debits (positive adjustments) increase it.
Debit adjustments
All debit adjustments must be linked to either a provider or a charge. When creating an adjustment, include either the
charge_splits
orprovider_splits
parameter. If neither is provided, the request will fail.
Example use cases
- Use the view adjustments, payments, and charges endpoints to calculate the patient’s balance and determine which charges are unpaid. This is useful for creating an itemized patient bill.
- Use create adjustment transactions to add recurring membership fees to a patient’s ledger.
