When assessing income there are two (2) boxes available; check the one that identifies how income was assessed.

◦ If patient provides income, check the first box;

◦ If patient chooses not to provide income, check the second box. (At Registration data entry, no income amount will be keyed into the Income field; the system should assign a “N/A” for not available; the patient would be charged at 100%)

3

Assignment of Benefits must be completed if the LHD is billing third party payers on behalf of the patient services received.

◦ This is where the patient gives permission for your agency to bill and receive payment directly from the third party payer;

◦ Allows for the third party payer to have access to the patient records if needed to determine payment.
