A/R Classifications

A/R classifications tagged to a patient's treatment episode indicate the entity responsible for balances and are a helpful indicator to have available for financial reporting.

A/R Classification and Definitions

Each account is pre-built with three standard types of A/R classifications and can be expanded to include custom tags for your account. 

A/R Classification	Definition	Requirements
Insurance	An Insurance classification indicates that all balances associated with the treatment episode will be collected solely from the subscriber's insurance payer.	A treatment episode created or updated with this classification will require a completed insurance set for the patient's intake before billing can be processed.
Mixed Insurance / Private Pay	A Mixed Insurance / Private Pay classification indicates all balances associated with the treatment episode will be collected either from the subscriber's insurance payer or a private individual (patient or guarantor).	A treatment episode created or updated with this classification will require a completed insurance set for the patient's intake before billing can be processed.
Private Pay	A Private Pay classification indicates that all balances associated with the treatment episode will be collected solely from a private individual, either the patient or a guarantor.	No insurance set is required for this classification type.
