           Reports And Tasks Scheduler - Feature Information
  • In the Ledger | Month End | Month End Update have Reset Insurance box checked
  • In the Office Manager | Maintenance | Reference | Purge Dental Insurance Used
    • Select to purge by Renewal Month OR
    • Select to purge by Selected Insurance Plan


To reset the insurance for one patient, go to that patient’s Ledger. Open the most recent claim, and then double-click on the Patient / Insurance Information portion of the claim (top box.)  Zero out the Benefits Applied and Deductible Met, then click OK.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: 
Benefits can be reset manually from the Office Manager by choosing Maintenance | Reference | Purge Dental Ins Benefits Used.  When benefits are reset, no matter which month is reset, the benefits used and deductible will be reset to zero.  They do not calculate what has been used since the current month.  To recalculate the benefits correctly, run Recalculate Ins Deductibles/Benefits from the DENTRIX Maintenance Utility.
