View Due Now Adjustment screen.

The Due Now Adjustment screen has a text box entitled Today's Charges.  This shows you the amount of charges that were posted to this account on this day.  If you click on the Percentage Of Today's Charges button, a new text box will appear entitled %Entry.  Enter a percent amount here.  For example, if  Today's Charges is listed as $297, and you enter 20 into the %Entry text box, the Due Now Adjustment will automatically calculate as $59.40.  This means that from the total charges of $297 for this day, $59.40 is expected from the patient.  You are estimating (maybe guessing) $237.60 from the insurance.  After the insurance has paid, if there is any remaining balance the Due Now amount will be adjusted to equal the total Balance and a statement will be sent to the patient.

When all fields are properly entered, click on the Record button. After recording, the Due Now Adjustment will be seen in the account ledger.  The amount of the Due Now Adjustment is NOT listed in the Amount column because a Due Now Adjustment does not affect the account Balance.  The amount of the Due Now Adjustment is seen after the description Due Now Adjustment in this manner:

Due Now Adjustment (22.00)

The number in parenthesis indicates the amount in dollars that the Due Now was increased.  Deleting a Due Now Adjustment will decrease the Due Now amount by this number. Note that the Due Now Adjustment only displays in the account ledger on the screen.  It will not print on a billing statement, therefore it will not be seen by the patient.
